Life
Saint Ioseb the Priest was a priest from the Khevi region, in the mountains of Georgia, and he reposed in 1763. The sources hold little about him: it is known only that he was a Mokhevian, that is, from Khevi, and that he served there as a priest. According to David Batonishvili, the elder son of King George XII (1776-1819), Ioseb the Mokhevian reposed in the year 1763.
The Church of Georgia venerates him as a saint and commemorates him on 7 October (old style; 20 October new style).
