До самой церкви на машине доехать невозможно, от парковки придется карабкаться в гору. Склон усеян могильными плитами, последние захоронения совершались здесь около ста лет назад. Одновременно как-то и страшно и дух захватывал. Жалко нельзя добавить фото, я бы показала. С древних времен на вершине этого холма стоял храм Святого Георгия, а до него, говорят, был какой-то языческий храм. Само место успело отметиться и в истории государства – здесь неоднократно бывали и останавливались правители. Двойное кольцо крепостных стен говорит о том, что Гориджвари был важным стратегическим пунктом. Тот старый храм рухнул во время землетрясения 1920-го года. Несколько десятилетий место было заброшено, но к нашим дням возродилось. Когда я сюда ездил, велось строительство капитальной дороги к Гориджвари. Сейчас, полагаю, она уже готова.
Когда я оказался наверху, то стал свидетелем, как прихожане совершают незнакомый мне обряд – они несколько раз обошли церковь против часовой стрелки, прикладываясь к углам здания.
Писать могу много очень. Если есть интересующие вопросы, задавайте. Отвечу!
