In 1638, Shah Abbas II of Persia ordered the deportation of tens of thousands of Georgians to Khorasan, a devastating blow that nearly erased the nation's cultural core. Yet, amidst this forced migration, a small group of monks from the Mount Athos monasteries—specifically those from Iveron and Hilandar—orchestrated a daring rescue mission. This episode explores how these spiritual leaders used their diplomatic standing with both the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Tsardom to negotiate the return of the exiled clergy and laity. We examine the role of Father Ioane, who traveled through dangerous territories to secure safe passage, and the complex web of alliances that allowed Georgia’s intellectual heritage to survive the Safavid purges. It is a story of faith, strategy, and the preservation of identity when every other institution had fallen. #GeorgianHistory #SafavidEmpire #MountAthos #Iberia #Bagrationi #ShahAbbasII #Khorasan #IoaneOfAthos #HilandarMonastery #IveronMonastery #CaucasusStudies #OrthodoxChurch #OttomanDiplomacy #RussianTsardom #Tbilisi #Mtskheta #Sakartvelo #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
