The Feast of Saint Tamar is observed in Georgia on May 14, commemorating Queen Tamar the Great, who ruled from 1184 to 1213 during the Georgian Golden Age. This day honors her legacy as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right, a position she secured after being crowned co-ruler by her father, King George III. Despite initial opposition from the Georgian aristocracy, Tamar's reign is celebrated for its energetic foreign policy, military successes, and cultural achievements. The feast, known as “Tamaroba,” is recognized by the Georgian Orthodox Church, which canonized her. While it is not a public holiday, it is celebrated in churches throughout the country, reflecting Tamar's significant impact on Georgian history and culture.
