The name Chrelsakdari is descriptive: chreli means variegated in Georgian, sakdari a village church. What the word refers to, the masonry, the painting or something else, is not explained in the district.
The church stands on high ground near Shekhvetila, north-east of Tsalka. Another old place is known in this district, the Mariam Jvari with the aunt stone, so the names here are memorable enough.
There are no regular services and people come freely. The church stands away from the village, up a rise, and the last part has to be walked from the road.
