The Resurrection of the Saviour, Matskhovris Aghdgoma in Georgian, is a direct dedication with no allegory: the chief feast of the Christian year.
In Gori a church of this name stands in the western part of the city, among housing, away from the tourist routes around the fortress and the museums. That makes the spot interesting for anyone wanting to see an unpolished Gori: an ordinary city parish attended by residents of the nearby streets rather than by visitors.
Easter here, as in any church of this dedication, is the main day of the year, and on the Easter night the whole quarter gathers by the church. The rest of the time it is calm. Dress soberly, with a headscarf for women at the entrance.
