All her life, the woman preached the Gospel, performed various miracles and healed the sick.

Nowadays, the relics of Equal-to-the-Apostles Nina are preserved in the Bodbiya Monastery, near the town of Signakhi.

There they are recognized as the main shrine.

Nina was born in Cappadocia around 280.

Her family was of a noble family, and her mother's brother was the Patriarch of Jerusalem.

From childhood, the girl was brought up in the love of God.

When Nina was 20 years old, she came to Jerusalem with her parents.

There, pious Nianfora took care of her education.

It was from her that the girl learned that the tunic of Jesus Christ is kept in the Caucasus (the city of Mtskheti).

But in those regions dwell pagans who do not know the word of God.

After that, the Virgin Mary appeared to Nina and told her to go to Georgia.

Nina went through hunger, cold and other obstacles, but still reached the land of Iverska.

There she began to preach Christianity and perform miracles.

Soon the girls joined her and became her students.

Nina died in 335.

January 27

.

This event was approved on November 1, 2005 at the UN General Assembly.

At the same time, they signed the Resolution dedicated to the Holocaust.

The document stated that the genocide resulted in the extermination of 30% of the Jews, as well as a large number of other people of various nationalities.

For all representatives of the Jewish nation, January 27 is a significant date.

On this day in 1945, after the end of the Second World War, the troops of one of the Ukrainian fronts released prisoners in Auschwitz-Birkenau (Auschwitz concentration camp).

It was the largest death camp established by the Nazis to mass exterminate what they believed to be unworthy persons.

In 1941, Reinhard Heydrich was appointed head of the secret state political police of the Third Reich.

The task is set before him: to solve the "Jewish question".

Jews from France, Belgium, Germany, and Holland were sent to Belarusian and Polish concentration camps to be exterminated en masse.

The people themselves were informed that the resettlement was temporary.

During the period 1933-1945, the Nazis rapidly built concentration camps, which were then popularly called "death camps".

During that time, more than 5 thousand such places were created.

Institutions built on the territory of Poland were considered the most brutal.

There were so-called "shower sponges" in the premises.

Prisoners of Jews and, in some places, Gypsies were driven there, and then carbon monoxide was fired.

When Nazi troops invaded Ukraine, which at that time was part of the USSR, they immediately began mass extermination of the Jewish population.

In particular, pogroms were carried out.

One of the largest took place in the summer of 1941 in Lviv.

About 5,000 Jews died that day.

In Kyiv, all Jews were rounded up and shot in Babiny Yar.

According to official data, more than 30,000 people were killed in a few days.

Mass shootings were also carried out near the Syretskyi concentration camp.

Jews were exterminated here between 1941 and 1943.

According to official data, more than 6 million people were killed during the genocide of the Jewish people.

Among them, 30% are children.

However, these numbers are generalized, because it is impossible to accurately establish the number of all victims, because entire families, and sometimes even communities, were destroyed at once.

Every year on January 27, mourning events, ceremonies and actions take place, during which the terrible details of those events are remembered.
