St. Gabriel Urgebadze's sister visits Samtavro and recalls 1986 vision

Julietta (Eugenia in baptism), sister of St. Gabriel Urgebadze, visited Samtavro Monastery on November 2, 2026 to venerate her brother's relics in the Transfiguration Church and the grave of their mother Barbara (Anna in monasticism). She recalled a 1986 visit to Meni Monastery in Senaki where, during morning services, she saw her brother's face and beard shining with light, years before his glorification.

She remembered asking herself: "Why is he shining? Is my brother a saint?" The post presents this as a living example of faith, love, and humility.
