St. Gabriel was born as Goderdzi Urgebadze in Tbilisi in the family of a Communist Party functionary, who was murdered in 1931. After a compulsory service in the Soviet army, he decided to join the monastic life and was ordained into monkhood under the name of Gabriel in 1955. He made himself famous by tearing down a banner depicting Vladimir Lenin during an International Workers' Day parade in downtown Tbilisi in 1965. He was arrested, tried, ruled to be psychotic, and confined to a mental hospital for seven months.

St. Gabriel spent much of his later life at the convent of Saint Nino, a nunnery attached to the Samtavro church in Mtskheta, an ancient town north of Tbilisi. He died there in 1995 and was buried at the Samtavro churchyard.

    Beautiful icon, only issue is it came with a decently long but thin scratch on it.

    This is a lovely icon, it came in a decent amount of time, well-protected, and nicely done. I'm partidularly grateful because it is very hard to find icons of St. Gabriel at reputable icon stores.

    I have several icons from uncut mountain, and this might be my favorite. It is so crisp yet so warm. I have it in 2 different sizes so that my son could have one in his room and the larger size in the living room. Thank you!
