The Mama Daviti church stands in Cheremi. In Georgian church usage the word mama means father and is placed before the name of a monastic saint or ascetic, so the name of the church reads as father David.
Cheremi lies east of Sagarejo and stands out for the number of its church buildings: about eight here, scattered along the whole length of the village. Such density is explained by the history of the place: Cheremi was a notable stop on the old road from Kakheti towards Tbilisi, and churches accumulated here over centuries, left at different ends of the sprawling settlement. The nearest neighbours of this church stand in the central part.
The yard is freely open at any time; inside is entered for a service or by arrangement. The usual rules apply: covered shoulders and knees, quiet, a headscarf for women.
