Day Six.

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia and it is the biggest and most developed part of the country. The official religion of the Georgians is The Christian Orthodox.

Today, we visited some churches to learn about the history of Georgia and how it has developed to its official religion.

#1:

This is the church in which Christianity was introduced to the Georgians. A man first came to the country and kept the cross in the middle of the barren land then people came and started praying and were introduced to the story of baby Jesus.

A view near the church where two of the biggest rivers in the country, join each other.

#2:

This was the largest church in the country 3 years ago. Now, its the 2nd largest church. It had water that was believed to cure many diseases therefor people got into Christianity, that's also the reason why the church is called "The Life Giving Pillar".
It was also believed that a man had bought the robe that the Christ was wearing on the day he was killed and the man's sister took the robe and refused to hand it to anyone; she was also killed and buried under the church with the Christ's robe.


We also visited some famous tourist sites like The Mother Of Georgia:

The Mother Of Georgia is a statue that symbolizes the power of women in the country. During the war, women were also involved. What the statue is trying to point out is that the women of Georgia are as strong as the men; the woman is holding a sword in one hand which shows her strength and wine which shows her love for her visitors and loved ones.


That was the end of our tour but we also went for a 45 minutes walk at night.

This statue shows one of the old Georgian kings who stood with his country, worked and fought hard to gain the independence of his country.

The end of our walk.
