The church of Saint Barbara stands in the eastern part of Bakurtsikhe, another church of the village after the one of Saint George about a kilometre and a half to the west.
Saint Barbara, Barbare in Georgian, is widely venerated in Kakheti: her churches stand in Chandari, Shashiani, Pkhoveli and Cheremi, told apart by the name of the village. Bakurtsikhe lies on the road between Gurjaani and Tsnori; the name reads as the fortress of Bakur, although the stronghold itself has not survived. To the south, away from the highway, lies Kolagi with two church sites.
A village church may keep no fixed schedule; service times are learned on site. Dress with shoulders and knees covered, a headscarf for women, and speak quietly on the grounds.
