Mtskheta - home of Georgian christianity

Wow. This small mountain valley, located about 7 kilometers from school, was where Georgian Christianity started, about one thousand seven hundred years ago. The church is also that old--although it's changed a lot since then. We were there on a school outing, pre-student, just so that the new teachers would have appropriate awe for the country...

The first photo is from a window in the church on the top of the mountain (note the church in the center of town).

The second photo is from the church in town.

  1. Window? I guess they weren't using glass 1700 years ago.
