The church of St George stands in Saskhori village. The dedication is named plainly here and holds in every local name of the church.
The Saskhori district is the richest in these parts: the Ukughma church stands about three hundred and sixteen metres away, the Kvemo Nichbisi church three hundred and twenty three, the parish of Our Lady of New Nichbisi seven hundred and twenty seven, the Geri chapel seven hundred and seventy nine. Five shrines fit into a circle of under a kilometre.
The church is rural and its gates are opened by arrangement, and the village will point you to the right person. The rules are the usual ones: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet. The whole district can be walked in an hour, yet the names here are tangled, so steer by the coordinates.
