Continued from “Caucasus ,
Georgia , Tbilisi : Art Market”
Today we shall walk in the center of Tbilisi , evening time, and several hours
before Christmas celebration.
Turkish baths, underneath the ground,
are using
hot mineral springs
Taxi cab drivers are playing domino
People of different nationalities live there in
friendship, respect to traditions and religious confessions. No one is
fighting. No extremism.
On the small area, you can enter synagogue
And 30 meters from it, there are two Armenian basilicas
This is Sameba - Holy Trinity – central
Tbilisian Cathedral.
Unfortunately, my camera got frozen and no pictures of
celebrations had been taken. Who knows? May be it was for better… From the
cathedral the most beautiful spiritual Georgian singing was coming.
You can enjoy 3 of the songs: ‘Thou Art A True Vine’,
‘The Grace of the Holy Spirit’ and ‘O Holy God’. Georgian multi-voiced singing
has no analogies in the world. In it, Men’s spirit becomes one with the Divine…
You can listen to them from my Levis-Fox Art
Gallery website.
This is our Christmas table.
Most of the dishes are situated nearby, as the table
is too small for them all.
This is ‘Hinkali’ – with very juicy and spicy
meat within.
How many would you eat and feel pleasantly
satisfied?
This is baker’s shop,
where bread (lavash) is done
according to ancient tradition.
Eat and live with grace…
Natalia Levis-Fox
