One of the benefits of our current sleep schedule is arriving at the tourist sites before anyone else. The downside is arriving before they're open. We went to the big cathedral of Tbilisi, the Holy Trinity Cathedral and walked around the perimeter for a little bit until it opened. I think it was visible in some of the pics I sent, it is pretty large and has a gold roof. The cathedral grounds had a lovely garden that we strolled around. Inside were many images of Mary and Christ, saints, and important figures from Georgian history. Inside was one other pair of tourists and a few locals who came to light candles in front of certain images. An old man saw us and showed us a small side door that lead to the underground chapel. Hospitality is a big part of the culture and Georgians are very eager to tell us about Georgia and Georgian culture even with the language barrier. |
