FEAST OF THE DAY

St. Nino lived near the end of the third century and is credited with
bringing the Christian Faith to Georgia. For many centuries, she was
widely popular throughout this area and many legends were spread
concerning her life. The oldest and most trustworthy biography was
written during the fourth century and is contained in the historical
writings of Rufinus of Aquileia.

St. Nino was brought to Georgia as a slave. She soon gained a wide
reputation for her deep faith and spirituality that allowed God to work
miracles through her. Some of the more well known miracles include
the cure of a dying child, the restoration of the queen from sickness,
and the safe return of the king after he was hopelessly lost. These
miracles helped introduce the Faith to the populace and the personal
benefits that the king and queen received encouraged them to
petition missionaries to come to their territory. As the missionaries
began coming into the area, Nino was able to continue her daily
witness to God of faith and prayer.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Vigilance and prayer are the safeguards of chastity. You should pray
often and fervently to be preserved from temptations against purity,
