Lonely Planet review for Jvari Church
Visible for miles around on its hilltop overlooking Mtskheta from the east, Jvari Church is to many Georgians the holiest of holies, the country’s spiritual heart. Jvari, or the Holy Cross Church, stands where a sacred wooden cross was erected in the 4th century (either by St Nino before she converted Mtskheta, or by King Mirian soon afterwards).
