Kvelatsminda translates as of All Saints: that is what churches dedicated to all the saints at once are called in Georgia. The name is met with across the country, from mountain villages to lowland parishes.
Badaani lies apart even by local standards: the nearest neighbouring shrine, the church of Kvemo Nakalakari, stands almost five kilometres away, the Lodebi church of St George in Sioni village a little further. Hills lie all around and the tracks between the villages are country ones.
The church is rural and its gates are opened by arrangement, and it is best to ask in the village itself. The rules are the usual ones: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet. Come with time to spare: the distances here are greater than they look.
