The church is known by the name Tsikhedidi and stands by Dzegvi village. Tsikhedidi means a great fortress in Georgian, and such names in Kartli usually belong to places by old strongholds.
The nearest Dzegvi church stands about eight hundred metres away, the Marian church of the village a kilometre off. Dzegvi itself stretches along the Mtkvari between Mtskheta and Kaspi, and the village and its district hold more than a dozen churches.
The church is rural and its gates are opened by arrangement. The rules are the usual ones: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet. The churches of Dzegvi stand close and are named alike, so steer by the coordinates.
