The church of St. George in Badiauri is the church of a village known to everyone who has driven the Kakheti highway. Badiauri is famed for its roadside tone, the clay ovens where hot shoti bread is baked before the travellers’ eyes, and the queue for bread here is part of the road ritual.
The St. George church south of the road gives this gastronomic stop a spiritual dimension. Five minutes from the ovens, quiet and an old Kakhetian dedication with its patronal day in November: a pairing worth leaving the car for twice: first for the bread, then for the quiet.
One enters freely, with the usual courtesy of a working church: modest dress, a quiet voice, respect for a service. On Giorgoba the church is especially busy.
