The church belongs to the Armenian Apostolic tradition and is known simply by the name of the village. No dedication has survived, which is ordinary for the small village churches of the plateau: the name of the village has replaced the name of a saint.
Didi Konduri lies in the west of the Javakheti plateau, ten kilometres from Ninotsminda and twelve from Akhalkalaki. The nearest shrine, the church of Srbots Ghevondyants at Patara Gondra, stands about a kilometre and a half away, the Armenian church of St. Gregory four and a half.
The villages around are named alike, Didi and Patara meaning big and small, and it is easier if you follow the coordinates. The church is opened for services and is accessible from outside at any time. Dress modestly, keep the yard quiet, and leave offerings untouched.
