Mtskheta | Day 3 | 'Solo Travel' 2017 | Georgia
My day 3 in #Georgia country: visited from #Jvari #monastery; #Shio monastery; #Samtavro monastery; #Mtskheta city; #Svetitskhoveli #cathedral; #freedomesquare; #clockleaningtower; #puppet #theatre
At 10:00 in the morning rode to Jvari (means #Cross) monastery. It is located at the rocky mountaintop that confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers. There you can see the Mtskheta town (overlooking). It is listed as UNESCO World Heritage site.
About 32 minutes of approx 23.8km from Jvari, we rode to #ShioMgvime monastery but it was closed that time due to lenten season. Shiomghvime means 'the cave of Shio'; Shio means priest.
So instead there, we went to Samtavro a 4th-century built monastery and there is a cemetery as well. There you can see the burials of King Mirian and Queen Nana at the entrance of the monastery.
Next we went to Mtskheta city and roamed the souvenirs market. Then we proceed to Svetitskhoveli Cathedral - just a walking distance from the market. Svetitskhoveli cathedral is the 2nd largest church in Georgia in terms of building next to the Holy Trinity cathedral (Sameba). There you can find many tombs of kings and leaders buried inside the cathedral. Svetitskhoveli means the 'Cathedral of the Living Pillar'. Also known as the burial site of Christ's mantle and listed as #UNESCO #World #Heritage #site.
For lunch, went to #Salobio #restaurant and ate #lobio with Georgian #cornbread. It was nice one of Georgia's traditional #foods. There I met a Filipino who at first I thought the guy is a Japanese. hehe, they were great - thank you both of you. Thank you too to Miro for introducing this food to me. For my blog about the traditional food I tasted during my visit in Georgia you check in this link:

Georgia - Mtskheta - Inside the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral
Inside the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, Mtskheta, Georgia.
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (Georgian: სვეტიცხოვლის საკათედრო ტაძარი, svet'icxovlis sak'atedro t'adzari; literally the Cathedral of the Living Pillar) is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in the historic town of Mtskheta, Georgia, to the northwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. A masterpiece of the Early Middle Ages, Svetitskhoveli is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is currently the second largest church building in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Known as the burial site of Christ's mantle, Svetitskhoveli has long been one of the principal Georgian Orthodox churches and is among the most venerated places of worship in the region. The present structure was completed in 1029 by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukisdze, although the site itself dates back to the early fourth century.
Svetitskhoveli is considered an endangered cultural landmark; it has survived a variety of adversities, and many of its priceless frescoes have been lost due to being razed and whitewashed by the Russian Imperial authorities.

The name of this monastery translated as the Monastery of the Cross. For the Georgian monastery in Jerusalem with the same name, see Monastery of the Cross.

Georgia, a country at the intersection of Europe and Asia, is a former Soviet republic that’s home to Caucasus Mountain villages and Black Sea beaches. It’s famous for Vardzia, a sprawling cave monastery dating to the 12th century, and the ancient wine-growing region Kakheti. The capital, Tbilisi, is known for the diverse architecture and mazelike, cobblestone streets of its old town.

Mtskheta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been inhabited since before 1,000 BC and was once the capital of the early Kingdom of Iberia (today’s Eastern Georgia). Just 20 km from Tbilisi, at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, the city is located on an ancient trade route. Archaeologists have unearthed evidence of Mtskheta’s status as a major trading post. Glass perfume bottles, Greek and Aramaic writings, pottery, metalwork and jewelry have all been unearthed in abundance here, and many examples are on show in the town’s museum.
The ancient geographer Strabo described Mtskheta as a highly developed city with a water supply system, markets and stone houses. Mtskheta was also the religious centre of the country, with a number of major shrines to Georgia’s pagan pantheon; these would later be replaced by churches when St. Nino converted the country to Christianity in around 337 AD. Although the capital was moved to the more easily defended Tbilisi at the beginning of the VI century, Mtskheta continued to be the coronation and burial place of Georgian kings, and the seat of the Patriarch, who is also known as the Bishop of Mtskheta. Today, the lovely old town has a laid back, village feel, especially compared to the more hectic pace of Tbilisi.

Mtskheta ( Georgia)
Mtskheta (Georgian: მცხეთა [mtsʰxɛtʰɑ]) is a city in Kartli province of Georgia. One of the oldest cities of Georgia, it is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Tbilisi at the confluence of the Aragvi river.
Due to its historical significance and several cultural monuments, the Historical Monuments of Mtskheta became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. As the birthplace and one of the most vibrant centers of Christianity in Georgia, Mtskheta was declared as the Holy City by the Georgian Orthodox Church in 2014.
The old city lies at the confluence of the rivers Mtkvari and Aragvi. The rare blend of cultural values had ruled in this part of the world since the Bronze Age until prosperous Christian era over the unique eclectic lifestyle creating the mood of the town which is as old as the history of Georgia. Mtskheta is the most religious city of Georgia as it has been the shrine of pagan idols since times immemorial and it is where Christianity in Georgia takes its origin.
