A relatively new church--for Georgia--dating only to 1029, it occupies the site of a 4th-C church, traditionally the nation's first. The damage done by Tamerlane in the 14th-C is still visible. My guide told of priests during that time hiding priceless manuscripts in the secret chambers above the nave. A number of Georgian kings are buried here.Terry (John)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07523479530843509695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-41696235682603931872007-02-15T14:40:00.000-08:002007-02-15T14:40:00.000-08:00Mimi - thank goodness for Powells.John - did you g...Mimi - thank goodness for Powells.<BR/><BR/>John - did you go the site featured on the cover?Hilariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05702731902033210478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-50223153747383375482007-02-15T12:22:00.000-08:002007-02-15T12:22:00.000-08:00Oooh, that does look good.
