The town and its environs are also known for their landscapes and historical monuments. Sighnaghi has recently undergone a fundamental reconstruction program and has become an important center of Georgia's tourist industry. Bodbe Monastery The Monastery of St. Nino at Bodbe is a Georgian Orthodox monastic complex and the seat of the Bishops of Bodbe located 2 km from the town of Sighnaghi, Kakheti, Georgia. Originally built in the 9th century, it has been significantly remodeled, especially in the 17th century. The monastery now functions as a nunnery and is one of the major pilgrimage sites in Georgia, due to its association with St. Nino, the 4th-century female evangelist of Georgians, whose relics are shrined there. Telavi is the main city and administrative center of Georgia's eastern province of Kakheti. Its population consists of some 21,800 inhabitants (as of the year 2002). The city is located on foot-hills of Tsiv-Gombori Range at 500-800 meters above the sea level. Tsinandali is a village in Kakheti, Georgia, noted for the estate and its historic winery which once belonged to the 19th-century aristocratic poet Alexander Chavchavadze (1786–1846). It is situated in the district of Telavi, 79 km east of Tbilisi. Gremi is a 16th-century architectural monument – the royal citadel and the Church of the Archangels – in Kakheti, Georgia. The complex is what has survived from the once flourishing town of Gremi and is located east of the present-day village of the same name in the Kvareli district, 175 kilometers east of Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. Two of the most important and most beautiful architectural monuments of Kakheti are the Dzveli ("old")and Akhali ("new" ) Shuamta Monasteries. Both of them stand in a forest of deciduous trees which makes them look even more fascinating.

With Russia (and Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkar, North Osetia-Alania) to the north, Turkey to the west, Armenia and Iran to the south and Azerbaijan to the east, Georgia remains a fiercely independent nation after years of oppression by the Russian Tsars and the Soviet Union.

The Impressive 14Th Century Tsminda Sameba Trinity Church
The impressive 14th century Tsminda Sameba Trinity Church This is a journey of exploration to the Caucasus and more specifically to three small nations: Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. Located between the Black and Caspian Seas, they were former Soviet Republics. Since winning their independence in 1991, they have prospered and joined the world. The Silk Road, connecting Asia and Europe, crossed through these lands, providing them with a long and storied history as well as a sense of belonging. Being at the crossroads, they are neither European nor Asian, but something uniquely different. Why visit the Caucasus? This journey offers insights of a very different world, one with magnificent mountain scenery and a long religious and trading history. Christianity was brought here during the 1st century AD by the Apostles. Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as their national religion in the 4th century. Everywhere we go, we will find religious relics: Pagan, Zoroastrian, Christian and Islamic. It is small wonder then that their respective histories developed with this strong faith and their monuments to the past take the form of religious stone buildings and statues. Virtually every important sight and beautiful landscape is marked by an historic structure. This journey will take us to the major centres such as Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan, where we will find very comfortable accommodations and services. We will also venture into the countryside to experience life as it is today, and where our accommodations while still very comfortable, will be a little more rustic. Group size is strictly limited and we anticipate that the group will fill Aragvi and Mtkvari Rivers - Credit Roslyn Craig quickly.

2020 Autumn Holiday Georgia & Azerbaijan
2020 Autumn Holiday Georgia & Azerbaijan Join us for another adventure to two very different countries. Both were influenced by and benefited from Silk Road trade and both were part of the Soviet Union for almost a century. Since their independence in 1991 they have developed very differently and we will explore these differences through their history, art, architecture and food, and discover the influences of Eastern Orthodoxy and Islam. We will have guides in both countries. This holiday will be more challenging than usual, so in the interests of safety and the enjoyment of all participants, it will be necessary to have the strength and agility to cope with the physical conditions, as well as being able to cope with different circumstances and be able to travel light and lift and carry your own luggage without assistance, particularly when crossing the 600m (656 yards) border between Georgia and Azerbaijan. The Itinerary The itinerary, dates and prices cannot be finalised until hotels are confirmed and the airline schedules published but it is likely we will depart 30th September, returning on 11th October 2020. Costs are likely to be about £2 450 per person double occupancy and about £3 060 per person single. In the event the holiday is over-subscribed, or the committee considers members not able to meet the challenges, the committee reserves the right to allocate places by way of a ballot and / or if necessary to ask applicants, who in their view will find the conditions beyond their capacity to cope safely and reliably and without complaint, to reconsider.

They were fragmented for several centuries and became more intense in the XVII-XVIII centuries. Since the second half of the XVIII century when Russia’s southern border reached the Caucasus ridge, Russia’s political and ecclesiastical interests in Georgia have grown. This interest is well reflected in the agreements concluded between Russia and Georgia during this period. lthough the treaty between Kartl-Kakheti and Russia in 1783 did not address the issue of the autocephaly of the Georgian Church, Article 8 of the treaty severely restricted its rights. The A Archbishop of the centuries-old Autocephalous Church of Georgia was to occupy the eighth place in the Russian Holy Synod after the Peter I, Bishop of the Tobolsk Eparchy. When signing the treaty, the King of Russia Georgian ambassadors (Garsevan Chavchavadze and Ioane (1682-1721) Mukhranbatoni) protested this article since the Georgian and Emperor (1721-1725) Archbishop was to be ranked fifth among the first-tier Russian bishops according to the previously agreed draft version of the agreement.

Bodbe Monastery: Keepers of the Chant
First published by the Messenger, an English-language daily in Tbilisi, Georgia By John A. Graham April 4th, 2006 www.messenger.com.ge Bodbe Monastery: Keepers of the Chant Located just two hours drive east of Tbilisi, Bodbe Monastery nestles between tall Cyprus trees on a steep hillside overlooking the Alazani valley, where it commands incredible views of the Great Caucasus Range. The monastery is the final resting place of Saint Nino, 'Enlightener of Georgians,' but during the nineteenth century, a Russian bishop doubting St. Nino's burial threatened to dig up the grave. Legend says that as he approached the grave, he suddenly died of a heart-attack. Down the hill from the monastery church, the bell-tower lies the Spring of Saint Nino, where pilgrims - or visitors - are meant to plunge themselves three times into the frigid water. The water is so numbing that it is difficult to experience the deep cold, the only feeling being an experience of tingling skin and refreshed pores after emerging into the fresh air. They say the spring has curative properties and absolves one of sins. In bygone times, Bodbe Monastery was a destination point for pilgrims coming to venerate Saint Nino. The current church is an often renovated structure from the 11th century, the bell-tower a creation of the Tsarist Russian period. The frescos inside the church, like the wall around the nearby fortress city of Sighnaghi, were commissioned by King Erekle in the late 18th century. Bodbe Monastery was once a center for Eastern Georgian chant. During the 1830s, the monastery went into disrepair under the jurisdiction of Tsarist Russian bishops, who took over the Georgian Orthodox church when the area was annexed to Russia in 1810.

Introduction and Context Public Disclosure Authorized Country Context Following four years of rapid growth, backed by far-reaching reforms and strong FDI inflows, Georgia experienced a sharp economic downturn resulting from the August 2008 conflict and the global financial crisis. Economic recovery is underway, with growth of an estimated 6.3 percent in 2010. The authorities responded to the downturn with a countercyclical fiscal stimulus coupled with a marked reallocation of public expenditures toward social and infrastructure investments. As economic recovery takes hold, driven by higher exports and private investment, the authorities are winding down the stimulus and implementing fiscal adjustment to safeguard sustainability. There is, however, uncertainty regarding the pace of economic recovery. Georgia will need to refinance a public debt amortization spike in 2013. The authorities are addressing these vulnerabilities through well designed fiscal, monetary and debt management policies. Infrastructure projects are considered by the Government as part of the physical stimulus package.
