Church of St. Gabriel the Fool-for-Christ and Confessor

The Church of Saint Gabriel the Fool-for-Christ and Confessor was built between 2023 and 2025.

Saint Gabriel the Fool-for-Christ and Confessor is among the most revered spiritual figures and miracle-working saints of the twentieth century. Father Gabriel was, and remains, a deeply beloved intercessor before God for great number of the faithful – among them the Abbess of Bodbe, Mother Theodora, who, during her years as a novice at the Samtavro Convent, lived and served at the same time as Father Gabriel.
