When visiting Georgia, Jvari Church is a must-see, and quite easy, too, considering it is half an hour from the capital Tbilisi. The setting is majestic, the views over Mtskheta, its rivers and mountains great.
The church itself was almost deserted, only one woman was praying. Some slender, yellow candles were burning, black robes hanging on one wall, and a huge cross dominated the entire inside of the church. Jvari church is sublime in its setting, but I think also in the sincere simplicity of its design. Yet this place is the holies of places in Georgia, and many Georgians may even claim that Jvari is the spiritual heart of the country. Moreover, its terraconch architecture a classic. The place is holy because it was here that St. Nino converted Mtskheta, the former capital of Georgia, to christianity. Some two centuries later, in the 6th century, the first church was built on this spot.
