The Kanda church stands in Dzveli Kanda village, and its name repeats the name of the place. Dzveli means old in Georgian, so the village is Old Kanda.
There are many neighbours around: an unnamed village church stands less than two hundred metres away, the monastery of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers about a kilometre and four hundred metres off, and in the Tsikhisdziri locality, some two kilometres away, two more old churches survive.
The village is quiet and the church is a rural one, its gates opened by arrangement. The usual rules hold here too: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet. The two nearby churches are easily confused, so steer by the coordinates.
📌 In brief
- Dzveli Kanda means Old Kanda
