Theotokos (Dedagvtisa) Tabori, Racha-Lechkhumi and Lower Svaneti, Georgia

4.7

6 reviews

In the mountain village of Tabori, on a secluded outskirts, stands the Mother of God of Tabori, also known as "Dedagvtisa". This unusual structure most likely began as a family tower or chapel before becoming a crypt. To the north of this architectural marvel you will find a leveled area where the first church probably stood in ancient times. Today, carved decorative fragments of the ancient temple adorn the walls of the modern chapel.

This monument of grandeur is built from carved shirima stone blocks, creating an impressive architectural appearance. In the past, precious silver vessels dating from the 18th-19th centuries, with engravings in Mkhedruli - an ancient Georgian script, were kept within the walls of this shrine. The inscriptions convey a message of faith and devotion, as well as historical events associated with the local community.

A visit to the Mother of God of Tabor is an immersion in the history and spiritual heritage of Georgia. In this place you can feel the merging of times, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past and see how traditions and faith survive the centuries. For those who value history and cultural heritage, visiting this location is definitely on the list.

Дорога, как загадка: петляет между зелёных холмов и меж двух небес. Однажды все же открывается тайна — и ты оказываешься в месте, где время не имеет значения. Тишина здесь рассказывает свои истории, а древние стены, кажется, знают ответы на все вопросы. Красота и покой — это всё, что приходит на ум.

Прогулка к этому старинному храму стала для меня настоящим путешествием в прошлое. Кажется, будто каждый камень здесь хранит свою историю. Радует, что реставрация не уничтожила древний дух места. Особенно впечатляет резьба, которая переносит на десятки веков назад.

უხვმა განცდებმა შემიპყრა, როცა დავინახე თაბორის სამრეკლო, სრული შუასაუკუნეების სიძლიერითა და სილამაზით.

A step through the ancient door, and it's as if time weaves its own spell, whispering stories of craftsmen from centuries past. The intricate carvings, a testament to mastered artistry, transport you to an era where faith and dedication left their indelible marks on stone. Standing on its floors, I felt engulfed by a calming sense of history, surrounded by silent narrators in every angle and curve. For anyone seeking a touch of the divine in human creation, this place is a serene reminder of how the past humbles us.
