A church of the Mother of God in Akhrisi. The dedication is given at times by the general name and at times specified as the Protection: both readings belong to the same circle of Marian feasts, and which of them took hold in the village is best asked on the spot.
Akhrisi lies in Shida Kartli, north of Gori. Another church of the village, of Saint George, stands about seven hundred metres away by the road to Jariasheni, so both fit into one short walk.
Count above all on seeing the church from outside: village churches in this area are not opened every day. The usual rules apply: covered shoulders and knees, quiet, and a headscarf for women.
