Probably the most frequently ordered excursion among our tourists is an excursion to the first capital of Georgia, Mtskheta. It is located half an hour from Tbilisi, but this is exactly the place to visit with a knowledgeable guide in order to take full advantage of all the wonderful gifts. that this land can give, and not just pass by, very close, admiring only the beauty of mountain views and ancient architecture, that. of course, also worthy of attention. The whole secret is. that the most energetically powerful place, the most modest in appearance, and not everyone, unfortunately, guesses to go there, but those who visit leave with a sense of peace and tranquility. We are talking about the Samtavro nunnery (translated as "Supreme, Main). On its territory there is a blackberry bush, near which Saint Equal-to-the-Apostles Nino, the baptist of Georgia, lived in a hut and healed people (Georgia adopted Christianity in the period from 327 to 337! ) .

King Miriam and Queen Nana are buried there, the first to accept Christianity from the hands of St. Nino, there are also the relics of Father Gabriel Urgebadze, who was accepted as a Saint in 2012.
The spirit of this person is so strong that it continues to heal even after physical death. When in 2014 his relics were raised from the ground, they made sure that the body did not indulge in decay, and pilgrims from all over the world came to bow and heal and still come. Many icons with his face stream myrrh, including the grave. This healing oil has healed and continues to heal. Including the author of this review. I recommend everyone who is interested to find a Russian-language film about Father on the Internet. "A man without love is like a jug without a bottom, " he said, and in contrast to this, everyone called him a jug overflowing with love. Overflowing with Love, namely Love with a capital letter, you leave Samtavro, and you always want to return ... .
