Deluxe Georgian Bundle - Save 5% on an Icon of St. Gabriel (Urgebadze), the Canon to the Saint and our book about him, Great Art Thou, O Lord!

Save by purchasing an icon & book bundle!

Our stunning icon of St. Gabriel (Urgebadze), by Protodeacon Paul Drozdowski, was commissioned to be a part of our book about the saint, Great Art Thou, O Lord!  We offer mounted copies in four sizes.

The Canon to St. Gabriel of Georgia was first published on Mount Athos, and is now being presented for the first time in English.

Since his repose in 1995, St. Gabriel has quickly become beloved by many from all over the world. Though he hid himself under a cloak of foolishness for Christ's sake during his life time, the number of faithful who honored him at the translation of his incorrupt relics (in 2014) could be counted in the millions.

The publication includes a Foreword by Priest Nectarios Yangson, Guardian of the Hawaiian Iveron Icon as well as a brief life of the saint and many of the saint's counsels regarding the last days.

 Great Art Thou, O Lord! Published with the blessing of Georgian Patriarch Ilia, this first book in English about this greatly loved Orthodox saint opens a vivid window to St. Gabriel's life and spiritual vigor.

St. Gabriel's remarkable ascetic life is revealed through the intimate recollections of his family and friends.

Born in 1929 in the Soviet Republic of Georgia, St. Gabriel fervently pursued the spiritual life under the guidance of holy elders. He famously rebuked the idolatry of the godless civil authorities, setting fire to a massive banner of Lenin at a public celebration.

Since he reposed in 1995, his veneration has grown rapidly both in Georgia
and abroad, boosted by countless miracles such as those worked by his jacket, which healed a fourteen-year-old boy of a brain aneurysm and which continues to heal many.

This soft cover, 236-page book is richly illustrated, with a special, 8-page, full-color insert of photographs as well as numerous black and white photos throughout the text.

All mounted icons are blessed at St. Innocent Press.
