Description
Behold the Sun of Kartli, the Queen of Queens, Saint Tamara
Have you ever longed to meet a saint who embodied both fierce strength and profound humility? A ruler who commanded armies and won epic battles, yet walked barefoot in prayer for her soldiers and personally sewed vestments for the poor?
Journey back in time to the glorious reign of Saint Tamara of Georgia (1160-1212).
The Sacred Monastery of St. John of the Ladder is proud to present another volume in our Orthodox Christian Treasury Series: The Life & Akathist Hymn of Saint Tamara of Georgia. This is not a modern summary, but a direct gateway to the heart of Orthodox Georgia’s golden age.
What makes this ebook a unique spiritual treasure?
- An Authentic, Ancient Chronicle, Newly Translated: For the first time, read a new and accessible English translation of The Life of the Queen of Queens, Tamara. This text is not a recent retelling; it is the primary historical chronicle of her reign, written by an anonymous contemporary shortly after her holy repose in the early 13th century. You will feel the immediacy and awe of those who lived under her blessed rule, as they recount:
- Her Solomon-like wisdom in judging and governing her people.
- Her unwavering defense of the Orthodox Faith against heresies and invaders.
- The dramatic accounts of legendary victories at Shamkori and Basiani, where her tears of prayer proved mightier than the countless armies of her enemies.
- Her boundless mercy, abolishing cruel punishments and filling the laps of the poor with alms from the royal treasury.
- Her final, moving address to her kingdom as she prepared to meet the Lord.
- A New Akathist Translation for Your Prayer Rule: Deepen your connection to this powerful intercessor with our monastery’s own new translation of the Akathist Hymn to Saint Tamara. These beautiful salutations are a powerful tool for prayer, allowing you to ask for the saint’s guidance in your own life and to praise God for the wonder of His saints.
As the chronicle says of her, “Thus does God glorify those who glorify Him; thus does He exalt the humble before Him.” Let the life of St. Tamara inspire you to greater heights of faith, courage, and love for Christ.
