Church of the Mother of God in Chachubeti, Shida Kartli, Georgia
- Description
In the depths of the Shida Kartli region, like a treasure drowned in time, is the Church in the name of the Mother of God in Chachubeti. This majestic structure, decorated with hewn stone and pieces of history, takes us back to the 8th-9th centuries. However, not only the date of its construction is impressive, but also the unique architecture. Ancient warehouses are woven around the temple, pressed against it on three sides, as if protecting its secrets and riddles. Walking through the arches, you will feel the breath of the 16th-17th centuries, when these warehouses were created.
The northern wing of the narthex, divided into two parts, welcomes you into its embrace with the entrance door carved into the eastern wall, like a gateway to the past. And in the south, the vestibule opens before you with its three parts, each with its own character: a high central part and two low side ones, giving the entrance special elegance and solidity.
Stepping inside, you plunge into an atmosphere where small fragments of paintings and ancient prayer inscriptions tell their story. Here, among the sacred walls, unique examples of statutory, lowercase and mkhedrul writing are preserved, like drops of time frozen on the walls of the temple.
Particular attention is drawn to the eastern facade, in which three sleeves are woven, decorated with reliefs of crosses, as if symbolizing the unity of time, faith and art.
The Church of the Mother of God in Chachubeti is not just a place of cult significance, it is an architectural miracle that has preserved its unique aura through the centuries. By visiting this place, you will immerse yourself in the rich history and cultural heritage of Georgia, feel the connection with the past and be imbued with its grandeur and mysteries.

Каменные стены дышат веками, будто шёпотом рассказывая о прошедших через них людях и событиях. Пространство внутри удивляет своей теплой простотой, где даже отпечатки потускневших росписей сохранили свою тихую значимость. Надписи, оставленные сотни лет назад, словно мост между нами и стариной — абсолютно очаровательно.

მშვენიერი სულიერი ატმოსფერო ამავე ისტორიულ შენობაში მიტოვებს განცდით, რომ სხვა დროში გადავედი.

Тихие стены хранят эхо веков, в осенней прохладе старинного зала царит спокойствие. Глядя на резные кресты восточного фасада, почувствовал удивительное погружение в историю и культурное наследие. Фрагменты росписей и старые надписи будто шепчут свои молитвы, создавая атмосферу, в которой время словно останавливается. Это место дарит особое чувство покоя и связи с чем-то большим, вне суеты повседневности.

Stepping into this ancient sanctuary is like stepping back in time. The walls, though made of simple rubble, seem to resonate with centuries of whispered prayers. Remnants of faded frescoes and cryptic inscriptions capture tales of long-gone pilgrims. As you stand quietly, surrounded by storied stone and hushed history, a profound sense of serenity washes over you. It's a reminder of where humanity has been, and a gentle nudge towards introspection.

Stepping into this ancient sanctuary was like opening a portal to another time. The air tingled with a sense of history, and the cool stone walls whispered stories from centuries past. Intricately carved reliefs adorned the exterior, adding a touch of celestial artistry. Inside, the remnants of faded frescoes spoke volumes in silence. Each archway and window seemed to frame a moment of serenity, offering not just a glimpse into the past, but a chance to pause and reflect in the present. This place isn't just a building; it's a tapestry of spiritual echoes and soulful journeys.
