"Your Holiness, 

I congratulate you on your birthday with great love!

This remarkable day is precious to our country. You, as the leader of the Orthodox Church of Georgia, have been giving us an example of love for God, motherland and neighbor for many years and comforting us with wisdom and care. We are grateful for the priceless contribution that you have made for the spiritual perfection of your flock and the unity of the nation.

Your prayers and blessing inspire hope to every Georgian in the homeland and beyond and encourage those who are today behind the occupation line.

Your Holiness, I wish you health and longevity, and I wish Georgia to be supported by your hope and paternal love for many more years!" - Zurabishvili writes.
