Giorgoba-St.George's Day

On may 6 I went to Gori (town in 80 km from Tbilisi) and visited Gorijvari church, located in south-west of Gori, on a high mountain. Pilgrims come here from different parts of Gori to pray, bring cattle for slaughter, wine etc for the feast. Giorgoba is commemorated twice a year, november 23 and may 6.
