Life
Saint Dimitrius was a Georgian monk of the 9th century, a disciple of Gregory of Khandzta, "counted among his first disciples". He is mentioned among those "many of whom reached the highest measure of monasticism and worked great miracles both in the body and after death". The Life of Gregory adds that he was one of his first disciples and calls him "Christ-bearer": his disciples saw many times a pillar of light over him, because "the Holy Spirit rested on him continually".
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.
