Saint Tamara, Queen of Georgia

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you Pray without ceasing For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God

	Saint Tamara, Queen of Georgia

St. Tamara (Thamar, 1184-1213), a queen of Georgia, was the daughter of the beautiful Bourduhan and George III. During her mother’s time Christianity had already spread into various parts of Georgia. Tamara left a good impression of herself on the people. Many Georgians venerate Tamara as the healer of infirmities. Georgian narratives extol her meekness, love of peace, wisdom, piety and beauty.

It is also known that St. Tamara was solicitous to the poor, widows, orphans and assisted in the spiritual development of Georgia. Besides this, she was the patroness of poets and writers, she built many churches as well as the sumptuous Vardziskiy palace. For her cares and generous gifts, the church added Tamara to the roster of saints.

St. Tamara called for a Church assembly, which put aside the confusion and replaced the unworthy hierarchs. Due to her successful activity within the government the Georgian kingdom spread and became stronger.
