The Place of Happiness

GEORGIA | Saturday, 3 May 2014 | Views [122] | Scholarship Entry

I was not ready for this...
I did'n know where I were going...
I was calm and funny, but...
But as soon as I saw the highest church I've ever seen, I could not say a word.The first I met was XIVc fence and the bell tower, where is the smell of old Georgia. After the fence you already feel that you are out of the world. You feel something different but you can't understand what is it. Monastery is named as Alaverdi Monastery, which was set up in VI century by one of 13 syrian fathers. Later, in XIc King Kvirike built big church named St. George. When you enter the church you see the experience, illness, happiness of walls. You see the puckers as on your grandmother's face and you think that you traveled in time. Near the church there is XIc wine cellar. You can't imagine the synthesis of tradition and contemporaneity. There are people who always love you and you see it. You want to stay there for ever where is calmness, hopeness and happiness.
