We traveled in January 2025. A beautiful place and a majestic temple, even the shades of cinnamon in nature, instead of green, do not detract from its grandeur and antiquity. In Lermontov's poem Mtsyri, this monastery is mentioned. From the observation deck, there is a view of the confluence of the two rivers Kura and Aragva, the photo shows that the water of the Aragva River is clear, and the Kura is muddy. In the center of the temple is a huge cross, after which the temple is named. All the interiors of Georgian temples are quite ascetic compared to temples in Russia, but the antiquity of the buildings more than makes up for it. We have the same faith, so you can light candles and submit notes, venerate the shrines in all the temples you visit, and even receive the blessing of the priests. It was our first time in Georgia, but we felt at home.
Have a good rest, everyone.
The Javari Monastery and the Monastery of the Holy Cross are one and the same. Different name.
