Yesterday we visited Jvary with you. It is ancient
monastery of Cross, standing on top of hill.
This is how it looks in summer.
Mtskheta is an ancient capital of Georgia .
At the
period of IV century when Christianity was accepted, Georgia had the name of Iveria.
Mtskheta is spiritual heart of Georgia .
Listen to 3 beautiful chorals by Georian Monks

Around the cathedral there is a tourist complex:
nice and ‘very Georgian’.
Walking around it, you feel clean from within.
This is how holy places manifest themselves,
even if you are not religious, like me
Typical Georgian houses
There is a cult of wine in Georgia since
ancient times
Homemade wine is kept deep inside the ground in
huge jugs called ‘qweri’
Wine shop in Mtzheta
Some of the wine bottles are examples of
ceramic
art.
It is a real pleasure to travel with friends belonging
to holy places
To morrow we shall make art shopping in Tbilisi , Georgian capital
Love
