This small church in Brili is called Eklesia Berisa, meaning the monk’s church: beri is Georgian for monk. That is the name the village uses, and it has stuck to the building.
The church stands in the eastern part of Brili, away from the main village street. A similar name belongs to a church in nearby Tsedani, and such names occur more than once in Shida Kartli.
You can walk up at any time and quiet is expected inside. Modest dress is appropriate, and the old building deserves care.
