Saint Andrew the First-Called Day is observed in Georgia every May 12, celebrating the significant role of Saint Andrew in the history of Christianity in the region. He is recognized as the first preacher of Christianity in modern Georgia and the founder of the Georgian Orthodox Church, making him one of the three most important saints alongside Saint George and Saint Nino. The holiday was officially moved from December 13 to May 12 in 2002 to honor his contributions more prominently. A notable landmark associated with this day is a large statue of Saint Andrew located near a waterfall in the Ajara region, believed to be a site he crossed during his travels. This statue has become popular among newlyweds, who visit it in hopes of receiving good luck in their family life. The day is marked by religious observances and celebrations within the Georgian Orthodox community.
