  • Abiathar and Sidonia were a legendary Jewish priest of Mtskheta and his daughter. They were attendants to Queen Nana. Abiathar is said to have been the first person Saint Nino converted to Christianity. An apocryphal account of the life and miracles of Saint Nino is attributed to them. They are regarded as saints in the church in Georgia, and are mentioned in Bessarion's The Saints of Georgia and the Menologium der Orthodox-Katholischen Kirche des Morgenlandes. It is said that after the death of Christ his Robe was carried to Mtskheta by Elioz, Sidonia's brother. After having listened to her brother's grief story about the death of Christ she "clutched the Robe to her breast and immediately gave up her spirit". She was buried with the Saint Robe in her embrace. And Abiathar and her daughter Sidonia are also considered to be the first Georgian writers. A lot of pseudo-epigraphical texts that tell about spreading of Christianity in Georgia are ascribed to them. Their feast day is celebrated on 1 October in Georgia. The name "Abiathar" is derived from a Biblical character, a priest of the Jerusalem Temple in the time of King David. (en)
  • Abiatar e Sidônia (em georgiano: აბიათარ და სიდონია, transl. Abiatar da Sidonia), segundo a tradição cristã ortodoxa, seriam os dois primeiros convertidos ao cristianismo por Santa Nino na Geórgia. Abiatar é descrito como um sacerdote judaico de Mtskheta, descendente de Elias, convertido por Nino e suas companheiras junto de sua filha Sidônia. Após isto, teria participado na comunidade cristã, tomando parte na conversão de Meribanes III, que teria pedido a Abiatar para que lhe lesse o Antigo e o Novo Testamento após a cura miraculosa de Nana. Após Abiatar ler ao rei a história de Ninrode, convenceu‐o finalmente de converter‐se à fé cristã. Abiatar e Sidônia são santos tradicionais da Igreja Ortodoxa Georgiana, e por ela são comemorados no dia 1 de outubro, junto dos reis Meribanes III e Nana. Basílio Bessarion inclui sua história em sua obra Os Santos da Geórgia. (pt)
