According to one version, this type, prototype for famous Georgian icon Anchis-khati, was brought to Georgia from Hieropolis by St. Andrew. This is what Ioane Ancheli claims in his “Hymns of Anchis-khati”. According to the second version, the divine icon of Christ, Keramion, kept in Martkhopi monastery and known as miraculous icon of Christ from Martkhopi, was brought to Georgia by St. Anton Martmkopeli in the 6th c. This version is stressed in the hymns of Arsen Bulmaisimisdze and Saba Syncellos. The same version is known from the sinaxar version of “Life of St. Anton Martmkopeli”. In the 30s of the 13th c. Cathalicos of Georgia Arsen Bulmaisimisdze and archbishop Saba Syncellos, on plead of the brothers Abuser and Vardan Abuserisdzes, created hymns dedicated to the divine icon of Christ, clay-work brought to Georgia from Syria by Anton Martmkopeligeჰიმნოგრაფიახატებიანტონ მარტყმყოფელიArticle
