Biography

(+340) In the barbaric lands of Georgia, east of the Black Sea, a slave girl captured in some war appeared and was named Nina and also Christian, because she repeated the name of Christ a lot. He impressed everyone with his kindness, his devotion, and the miraculous cures he performed. Once he healed the queen and her husband, the king, during a hunt in which he found himself in great danger, entrusted himself to that unknown God of Nina and when he returned safely, he begged Cristiana to instruct him in his faith. They asked Emperor Constantine to send priests to Georgia, and Constantine soon sent Bishop Peter and the priest James, who baptized all the inhabitants of the capital, thus establishing the foundations of Christianity in the kingdom.
