Our venerable and God-bearing Father Ekvtime the Confessor, a hieromonk of the Church of Georgia during the first half of the twentieth century, was responsible for the recovery and protection of many ancient Georgian texts and music manuscripts. He undertook the transcription of the medieval Georgian neume system of music notation to the modern European-style staff system. Additionally, he protected and hid this valuable collection during the trying and dangerous years following the Bolshevik revolution and the early part of World War II. His feast day is celebrated on January 20.
