The Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II, will hold a service at the Sioni Cathedral.

St. Nino, Equal to the Apostles, entered Georgia in about 323 [during the reign of King Mirian] through the mountains of Javakheti. She held a holy cross made of vine stems tied by her own hair. St. Nino is associated with the proclamation of Christianity as the state religion in year 326.

The Orthodox Church commemorates St. Nino twice a year: on June 1, the day of her entry in Georgia, and on January 27, the day of her death.
