Photographer’s Note

a kiss in Jvari ...Georgian Orthodox monastery of the 6th century near Mtskheta. The name is translated as the Monastery of the Cross. According to traditional accounts, it was here in the early 4th century that Saint Nino, a female evangelist credited with converting the country to Christianity, stayed here to pray and erected a cross on Mtskheta’s highest hill.
