Gabriel Urgebadze was a 20th-century Georgian Orthodox monk and priest known for his asceticism and piety. Born in Tbilisi in 1929, he lived through the era of Soviet religious persecution, during which he was arrested and imprisoned for protesting communist symbols. He later lived as a fool-for-Christ, embracing a life of extreme simplicity and public preaching. Recognized for his spiritual devotion and perceived miraculous abilities, he was canonized by the Georgian Orthodox Church in 2012. He died in Mtskheta in 1995 and is remembered as a wonderworker and confessor.
