David of Midznadzori

Venerable David of Midznadzori was a Georgian monk of the first half of the 9th century, builder and first abbot of the Midznadzori monastery in Klarjeti, in the south-⁠west of historic Georgia. George Merchule calls him "the great" and a "builder of monasteries". His disciples were Hilarion, who became Catholicos of Kartli and was called "father and builder of Tskarostavi", and Zacharias, builder and abbot of the Baretelta monastery (in Klarjeti).

The Church of Georgia counts him among the saints and commemorates him on 5 October (old style; 18 October new style) in the Synaxis of the venerable fathers and mothers of the Klarjeti desert.
