Life
Venerable Nino the Hegumen was a Georgian abbess, born in 1816 and fallen asleep in 1904. By decision of the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Georgia on 21 December 2016 she was numbered among the saints together with the abbess Tamar (Marjanishvili), two kings, Bagrat III and Solomon I, and the catholicos-patriarch Kallistrat (Tsintsadze), who shepherded the Church in the hard years after 1932.
The sources at hand do not preserve details of the monastery she led or of her ascetic life. She is honoured as an abbess, that is, a guiding mother of a community of nuns.
