Itinerario

1. Jvari monastic temple immortalized by Michael Lermontov (“Mtsyri”poem) is the most ancient cult monument constructed in the beginning of Georgian Christianity in the 6th century (585- 604). The name Jvari means “cross” in Georgian language. It explains the ancient legend which says that it was there that St. Nino of Kappadokia put the Sacred Cross symbolizing the acceptance of Christianity by Georgia. Later over the cross the Temple of the Sacred Cross was built. It is worth mentioning that Small Jvari temple was built first (lying in ruins next to the main temple), and Big Jvari was erected afterwards for the purpose of preservation of the Sacred Cross relic. According to the ancient records the Cross was open to be seen from afar and was the object of worship until the 6 th century.

About Tiflis

Tiflis, capital de Georgia, se extiende en una garganta bajo una fortaleza: casas con balcones, baños sulfurosos y audaces edificios modernos.

La ciudad vieja se agrupa a lo largo del río Mtkvari, con calles estrechas bordeadas de balcones de madera tallada, iglesias y bares de vino. Abanotubani, el barrio de los baños, está coronado por cúpulas de ladrillo sobre fuentes sulfurosas, y las murallas de la fortaleza de Narikala lo dominan todo, a las que se llega en teleférico o por una subida empinada. La estatua de la Madre de Georgia se alza en la cresta con una espada y una copa de vino.
