SAINT VIRGIN’S PRIASES AND PRAYERS

Authors

  • Sophiko Gvaramadze

Abstract

The poetry is very symbolic, Archil uses Biblical allusions asks St. Virgin to help him and names her symbols the number of which is quite big. Archil uses only one part of them. They are: queen, mother, virgin, ark of religion, tent, stairs, lily, pigeon, little cloud and so on. The explanation of each symbol is based on Biblical aspects and has a great tradition in Georgian hymnography. It is the reason why Archil uses the elements of hymnography so strongly. A poetry is full of symbolisms and each symbol includes some layers.,
