14th October: Mckhetoba-Svetitckhovloba 

  A big, if not a great spiritual feast is celebrated by Georgians on October 14.Its celebration based on a real miracle: the acquisition by Georgia the greatest relic - the tunic of the Lord, due to which was built the main temple of Georgia - Mtskheta Cathedral.

The legend of how already in the I century, two Jewish priests brought to Georgia the tunic of Jesus in which he was executed, know all the Georgians. And also the fact that on the burial place of the tunic rose up sacred cedar, which later began to stream myrrh and gave people healing of all ailments. People named the cedar “Life-giving pillar” (Mtskheta). At the beginning of IV century, the first king of Georgia - Mirian - decided to build a church on its place. Cedar was burned, but the trunk could not been moved.


St. Nino was the only one who could beg the blessing of the Lord, to move it. An invisible force lifted the trunk into the air and dropped into place, where soon grew up a wooden church. Pillars for the first church were carved from the same cedar. In the XI century the decayed church was replaced by the majestic Cathedral of Mtskheta, which is located today in the historic town of Mtskheta - ancient capital of Georgia. And the main celebration of the holiday Svetitshovloba of course, take place here, in the ancient land of Iberia. Inside the Svetitshoveli cathedral since the early morning begins solemn service, led by Patriarch of All Georgia.  The majestic and dazzling surroundings of the cathedral, dressed in a gilded robe priests, the mystery rites - this spectacle is as beautiful as sacred, it attracts believers not only from all Georgia, but also from around the world. 

After the festive service at the confluence of Aragvi and Kura rivers will be held mass christening of the people that has become a traditional part of holiday Svetitshovloba. On this day believers also visit the holy sites of Mtskheta: ancient monastery Dzhvari and ancient temples.
