According to the legend, Nino received a vision where the Virgin Mary gave her a grapevine cross and said:
\"Go to Iberia and tell there the Good Tidings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and you will find favour before the Lord; and I will be for you a shield against all visible and invisible enemies. By the strength of this cross, you will erect in that land the saving banner of faith in My beloved Son and Lord.\"
Nino reached the borders of the ancient Georgian Kingdom of Iberia from the south about 320.
