ნათიასთან ერთად




The priest Kirion II which full name was George Sadzaglishvili was born in Shida qartli district exactly in the vilaage qvemo Niqozi, in 1855.
after finishing school, he went to the elesiastic  school in Gori. then at the Theological Seminary in Tbilisi and got deep education in the Ukraine.  Beside his theological life he was helping to increase Georgian libraries, established schools and was working to share information about Georgian churches. which of them were exactly Georgian.
He could not get the Autocephalous of churches, so when he became Patriarch tried to give hope and way how turn back Georgian independence.
Kirion II was Georgian Patriarch in 1917 when Georgian churches  had got Autocephalous.
but he was not satisfied, because Georgia as a country was not independence. Actually, this or last his foughts became the reason to shooting him.
Kirion II was killed in his residence in 1918.
 Kirion had not forgotten his home-village and in his life he bought 4700 books for the Librari of  Qvemo Niqozi.
he was arrested several times before becoming patriarch and was living in the difficult conditions. In the jail nobody lives fine but our saint was living and sleeping in the low  degrees  without heating.

our big fault reminds his memorable house in our village. You may pass it and could not guess that in this old house was living our big saint. we could not manage to stick a memorable board with the words  ‘Here was born Georgian First Patriarch Kirion II  ’
we must do that. It’s our only job how we could save his works for new generation.


In conclusion only this was my ask to share with you to share with them who can help me to solve this task.
