Mama Gabrieli, the Contemporary Confessor of Georgia

Abstract

Saint Gabriel the Holy Fool or the fool for Christ sake is a contemporary saint and wonderworker about whom generations to come will testify his miracles. He was born near Tblisi in a troublesome period of atheistic denial and great trial for the Georgian people. Like all the great holy fools for Christ, all his lifetime was despised, considered crazy, abnormal, judged by people and even by his own members of family, but he never ceased to confess his steadfast belief in the only one and true God.
