“I am sorry that first of all from you) is not felt compassion with me… Mukhano and Rati are waiting for their Argveti, Little Lashura, Big Walnut Tree, and our well… Don’t forget your homeland! Raise your children as Georgians!…
Look at yourself, look closely – don’t you feel superior in every way compared to the representatives of all other nations? You can’t help but feel it if you look closely. And what do you think is the basis of this feeling? Sachkhere-Chiatura-Zestafoni? Today’s miserable Georgia?
No. The basis of this superiority of yours is your own blood. The blood that flowed in the veins of your distant ancestors now flows in you. Who were your ancestors?!… Don’t you think that your blood history begins with David the Builder, Shota Rustaveli, Ilia, Akaki, and Vanichka! You are the flesh and blood of the people who owned the entire Caucasus, Asia Minor, Syria-Palestine-Phoenicia… the entire Mediterranean basin… The Georgian people were among the first to acquire and process copper, iron, steel, silver, and gold. The contribution of the Georgian people is the vineyard and wine…
The world learned the horse and the war chariot from the Georgians…
According to world science, there is no other language as rich as Georgian. There is no alphabet as perfect as the Georgian alphabet. For no one is the law of Christ as flesh and blood as for Georgians. Our great ancestors made the Christian faith national. The fight for Georgia was a fight for Christianity; sacrifice for Christianity was a sacrifice for Georgia! Saint George of Cappadocia was Georgian, and Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (also known as Peter the Iberian) was Georgian. Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa…
Georgia is the share of the Virgin Mary. Georgia took on the mantle of the Lord… No other nation on earth has as many temples in its own country (and especially outside its own country) as the Georgians. Georgian Christianity is different from the Christianity of all other nations.
Georgian Christianity is a knightly Christianity, led by Saint George. There were many sects… and there are… Joining these new-fangled sects is forgiven to everyone, except for Georgians. For Georgians, Christianity we have is not only a law, but also the land and water of Georgia.
The language is Georgian, the family is Georgian, the graves of ancestors are there, the cradles of descendants are there, and the Georgian who casts doubt on this ancestral faith of ours, who opposes it, who is critical of it, he (perhaps without even knowing it) rejects his own father, his own son… in a word, himself, because without a homeland, without a mother tongue, without parents and without a future, a person does not exist as such! And doesn’t Christ preach this to us?… Christianity is not a material religion, as they believe, Christianity is a deeply philosophical religion; its comprehension requires great intellectual effort and filling with the Holy Spirit.
God first cleansed the deteriorated earth with water; the second time He will purify it with fire! The second coming will truly be a return to paradise!
Heed the cry of your own blood! Remember what surname you carry! Do not kick the sacred vessel that has been filled with the blood of your proud ancestors for centuries!”
