Life
Saint Kaikhosro the Georgian is a Georgian saint commemorated by the Church of Georgia and regarded as a venerable martyr. His life has been handed down in the works of Archbishop Timothy Gabashvili, a well-known churchman and historian of the eighteenth century. In a passage describing the frescoes and commemoration books of the Holy Cross Monastery in Jerusalem, Bishop Timothy notes that among the frescoes of holy fathers and martyrs is an image of Kaikhosro the Georgian.
According to the commemoration books of the Georgian monastery in Jerusalem, Saint Kaikhosro was tortured to death by Shah Abbas I in 1612 for his pious veneration of the holy icons. He is commemorated on 16 June (new style).
