This is a popular tourist attraction and pilgrimage location because it is here that St. Nino, 4th century evangelist of Georgians, relic’s are shrined. I didn’t wear my papakha hat here – it didn’t feel right as this is such an important religious location. I wore my Prague big scarf that swallows the head and pom pom hat!
Bell Tower:
Old church – again, I was not allowed to take pictures inside and had to wear a scarf around my waist – my Prague pom pom hat was okay as a cover. Here I was able to pray at the tomb of St. Nino.
Newer church still under construction:
Nunnery, with one of the nuns sweeping the walkway:
Grounds:
View of the Caucasus Mountains:
It was fun having Dachi always willing to take my picture!! I’m so used to taking the pictures or taking selfies!! 🙂
Next stop….the town of Signagi!
S, 🙂
Absolutely love those stone walls and fences.They are so well constructed. So even!
Have a question????
Why must you wear your scarf around your waist?????
Glad you had some prayer time in church🙏🏼🙏🏼💜

It is part of the rules when entering an Orthodox church – women must not wear pants and cover their hair.
