滕凯舟
When I went there was a Sunday church service. Only locals could go in and the grass outside was very comfortable. Listening to the hymns from the church, bathing in the warm winter sun, I was in a good mood. There was a small square outside the church. There were carriages and children playing football. Everything was natural and leisurely. Looks like

Lonely on the cliff at the intersection of the two rivers, overlooking the surrounding landscape, opposite the mountain is the old capital of Georgia and the pillar of life cathedral in the distance can see the snowy mountains of the Caucasus Mountains in the distance. Lonely.

滕凯舟
The scenery is super good. There are not many tourists, especially on the road to the church. The top of the 12 pillars on both sides is a cross of different shapes. It is said that there are several stray dogs outside the church of Jesus 12 disciples. Very large but very docile. The girl needs to wear a headscarf and a cloth on the waist. The church is modern, with less historical taste.

The church we visited was named Samtavro Main Church, also known as the Woman's Monastery of San Nino. It may seem more appropriate to us, as all the nuns were seen here. San Nino, who guided Georgia to convert to the Orthodox Church, lived here, so there is a San Nino chapel on the east side of the churchyard. Almost all female visitors who come in to visit or worship will check in there, and the incense is very strong. It is said that the location of the hut is the place where San Nino worshiped, no wonder it was so sacred. There was the nun's clothes and the coffin of the king and queen who was guided to establish the Orthodox Church as the state religion. This is a very sacred place in Georgia, but unfortunately we see not many tourists here. There are also many nuns' cemeteries in the churchyard, and the owners of these cemeteries may have told different stories in the historical era. There is a small museum behind the yard, walk in to see, mainly pictures and text introduction. Because of the language barrier, I don't know that the leader of the monastery is displayed.

We crossed the European Square and visited Metke Church on the nearby highlands. This ancient church is relatively simple in its interior, but its historical value is not simple, because it used to be a prison for Comrade Gorky, a great writer we knew from childhood in the Soviet era. In front of the church is a large sculpture of the father of Georgia, Wahtag I of the Kingdom of Liberia, Georgia. This place is also said to be the origin of the city of Tbilisi. Take a break in front of Metke Church, which overlooks the European Square, the Kula River, and the "Mother of Georgia" sculpture at the top of the hillside not far away. The hillside, called Surolak, lies above the old city of Tbilisi.

山水人生
From the European street, we walked to the main church of Zion in Tbilisi not far away. The tall church is located on the edge of the old town, which is currently the seat of the bishop of the Georgian Orthodox Church, hence the name of the main church. The unpretentious church was built from the 6th to 7th centuries. It has been destroyed many times in the country's troubled history, and now we see church buildings built in the 13th century, and later changed in the 17th to 19th centuries. So this church is also the oldest place in Tbilisi. It is really extraordinary to walk into the church and see the interior layout, especially the murals everywhere, and there are many people who come here to pray. We sat outside the church and read the introduction of the attractions. This is the first official visit to the church on this Transcaucasian trip. I didn't expect the subsequent church tour to make us dizzy, and finally even had a little "church aesthetic" fatigue.

This church-style Tbilisi is one of the most popular churches. Just on the walking gold line in the very lively old district. The appearance is very elegant and the building is typical of Byzantine style. Very eye-catching.
