Outstanding

The Monastery of the Cross (Jvari Church) was built at the end of the 6th century AD. It is the place where Saint Nino first erected a cross when Christianity was introduced to Georgia in the 4th century AD. Lermontov, a great Russian poet, wrote the famous poem "The Child Monk" here. The church houses a portrait of Saint Nino and a huge wooden cross called the Cross of Saint Nino, which attracts a large number of believers to make pilgrimages. The monastery is located on a rocky mountaintop near the ancient city of Mtskheta, overlooking the confluence of the Kura River and the Aragvi River and the ancient city of Mtskheta.

Jvari Monastery attraction highlights

The Divari Church was built on the top of a hill near Mtskheta, overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city of Mtskheta. Divari Church is the oldest church in the ancient city of Mtskheta, built between 585 and 604 AD. The worship of the cross is a sign of piety among Georgians, which is also reflected in the name of the church ("Divari" is exactly what the cross means). Here, like many other churches in Georgia, houses the portrait of St. Nino, the first Christian missionary of Georgia, and is a splendid gem of the ancient city of Mtskheta.
