Andrew of Opiza

Venerable Andrew of Opiza (eighth century) was the second abbot of the Opiza Monastery, in Tao-⁠Klarjeti (today in Turkey). He is venerated as a saint in the Synaxis of the Venerable Fathers and Mothers of Klarjeti of the Orthodox Church of Georgia, canonized in October 2002 (by other data in 2003); he is commemorated on 5 October (old calendar).

His name appears in the Life of Venerable Gregory of Khandzta, written in 951 by George Merchule, which shows that after Samuel, the first abbot of Opiza after the monastery's revival, came Andrew, then Venerable George of Opiza, in whose time Gregory came to the monastery. No other sources about his life survive.
