Jvari Monastery

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.

The ancient church stands as a boulder, impartially at the intersection of the Kuna and the Aragwi rivers. Like many other churches in Georgia, there are portraits of bishops.

The Church of Tivari, built on a hilltop near Mtsjeta, overlooks the panoramic view of the ancient city of Mtsjeta. The monastery is like a sudden boulder, standing impartially at the intersection of the two rivers. The monastery was built around 600 AD. Like other medieval churches, the design is sophisticated, the architectural style is clear, the world heritage is another gem of the ancient city of Mtsjeta. The monastery of Tiwari is very simple, not in the same style as the exquisite ornateness of many cathedrals. The first thing I saw after entering was a huge, simple wooden cross, and the wall still had a natural bumpy surface of stone building materials. The indoor light is dim, mainly by narrow windows to pick up natural light, the camera sensitivity is soaring, and the high noise density is touching. There was hardly any decoration in the monastery, no European monastery at all, and there were many tourists, and a priest sat quietly, blinded to the surroundings, away from the rolling red dust, accompanied by cold stone buildings, and alone for the God of the heart, This is the power of faith. In fact, in every religious place in Georgia, people can feel the unparalleled piety, church believers seem to be more than visitors! Quiet enough to hear the whispers of believers, the air has a faint scent of candles. Light, shadow, sound, incense, all create a religious atmosphere here in great harmony. It is not easy to keep the monastery from the fire for more than a thousand years. At this moment, the wind is facing the wind with the railing, and there is no desire.

one of the best places in Georgia, it's near and very convenient to get there, you can visit one of the oldest monastery and see the most amazing views.

It is very interesting and cost-effective. It is highly recommended 👍👍

End the tour at the San Nino Women's Abbey, bargain with the taxi driver waiting for the solicitor at the door, and finally say that the chartered car will be sent to the Tiwari Church on the hilltop opposite the river. Netizen Raiders said that the general price of chartered car is 20GEL. We saw many drivers waiting for the solicitation at that time, and the obvious supply was greater than demand, so we killed another knife in the face of the opening price of 20GEL. It seems that it is really difficult to receive a live driver and have to accept it, so we drove us to the Tiwari Church. We only saw a lot of tourists coming here when we arrived at the top of the mountain, and there were many vehicles large and small parked in the parking lot, which was several times more than the tourists we saw in the first two churches. We climbed the hillside to the church, the first thing that attracted the attention was the town of Mtschener, which is located in the confluence of the two rivers. The town is very beautiful. The Pillar of Life Church and the San Nino Woman's Abbey in the town are also visible, and the highway across the town river extends straight away, with the mountains of the distance vaguely visible. Overlooking the natural scenery of the town of Mtsjeta, we went into the tall and simple church around us. There was a huge wooden cross in the center of the church, but the most sacred of the church was a small cross on the middle altar. This is a Saint Nino cross from the fourth century AD. The Saint Nino cross was built after King Mirian was probated and Christian, and is engraved with biblical-related carvings, which are considered Georgia's first national treasure. This San Nino cross was stored at the Trinity Church at the foot of the Kazbek mountain we visited yesterday when it was in war in Georgia. If the pillar of life church that was visited before was a church of high status in Georgian churches, the church in Tiwari before him was the holy of the Georgians. People who come here to worship are very interested in this cross, some take pictures, some worship, and think differently. This is the power of religion and history, and the power of faith. We looked indoors and then looked at the tall church on the outdoor platform. The simple church under the blue sky and white clouds showed a unique charm. This Tiwari church has been in existence since it was built and has not been rebuilt. It seems to be an ancient building.
