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.

The church is one of the characteristics of Tbilisi, and January 6 is the Orthodox Christmas
Very spectacular church, very beautiful inside.
