David Gareja Monastery Georgia

(March 2013) David Gareja is a rock-hewn Georgian Orthodox , on the half-desert slopes of Mount Gareja, southeast of Georgia's capital Tbilisi. The complex includes hundreds of cells, churches, chapels, refectories and living quarters hollowed out of the rock face. Assyrian Fathers, a group of monastic missionaries who arrived from Mesopotamia to Georgia to strengthen Christianity in the 6th century found the rock. Despite the harsh environment, the monastery remained an important centre of religious and cultural activity many years. I was the only outside visitor to the caves and was amazing feeling to be there and also I was lucky enough to spend time with the monks and learn from them the traditions and heritage behind this amazing monastery complex and it is complex structures and caves.
