Kazbek - Churches are generally located in residential areas or close to the street. But in Georgia, there is a church on top of the mountain and has a fantastic view!
Gergeti Trinity Church or commonly known as Holy Trinity Church is somewhat unique. If a worship house is usually located near an urban or accessible road, this church is on a mountain top near Mount Kazbek
Gergeti Trinity is an active orthodox church built in the 14th century. In the 18th century, Tbilisi Persia invaded and brought valuables from Mtskheta and the Holy Cross Nino to be kept here. Because during the Soviet era all religious activities were forbidden
Not only history, this building also keeps folklore so interesting. According to Georgian folklore, there used to be a hero named Amirani
Amirani apparently stole fire from the hands of the gods as a gift to his fellow human beings. But Amirani is caught and punished
Amirani also had to serve a prison sentence on the slopes of the dangerous Mount Kazbek. According to academics, Amirani may be punished in orthodox hermitage, the Bethlehem Cave or Bethlemi. This cave is at 13,000 feet or 3962.4 meters above the mountain
Behind its myth and history, Gergeti Trinity has a challenging location for the adventurous traveler. Located in the inactivated Stolovolcano region, it has a height of 7,720 feet or about 2,353 meters and is quite easily accessible
Traveler who want to come here are also required to bring a guide. Because this church entered into the seventh highest peak in the Caucasus
Once up, all the tiredness of the climb will pay off because of the beauty of the scenery. You will be hypnotized until you can not say anything
