[1] The icon of Archangel has been considered as the main patron of the village Mutso during the centuries.

They sacrificed an ox and asked the icon to come down to a more accessible place.

The icon heard the prayer and moved to a holy place in Khone.

Archangel was saving his village from black death (plague; Georgian: ჟამნი) One infected man ran out naked from another village and swam through the river of Khone.
