The church of Saint George stands in Dzirkoki, a small village towards Gurjaani. The place is quiet and little visited, living by the rhythm of a village parish.
Besides this church Dzirkoki holds a second one, of the Virgin, about a kilometre to the north: for a village of this size two church buildings already stand out. Fields and vineyards of the Alazani valley stretch around, and to the north, closer to the highway, lies Chikaani with its church of the apostle Thomas, an uncommon dedication in Georgia.
The church is open from morning to evening, which for a village church indicates steady care. Dress with shoulders and knees covered, a headscarf for women, and speak quietly on the grounds.
