Three Haloed Figures. Georgian tradition holds that the Apostle Andrew, the First-Called, preached in these lands — one of the earliest threads in the nation’s Christian story. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. Queen Tamar ruled from 1184 to 1213 with the title of king (mepe); her reign is remembered as Georgia’s Golden Age of art, faith and power.
