Archpriest Zakaria Machitadze
Holy Father Tbeli Abuseridze lived and labored in the 13th century. His father Ioane, the archduke of Upper Atchara, perished in a battle with the Turks. After Tbeli’s mother was widowed, she was tonsured a nun and given the name Ekaterine. Tbeli’s brothers, Abuseri and Bardan, were also well-known figures in their time.
