The church is dedicated to the Unexpected Joy icon of the Mother of God. It stands in Zahesi on the northern edge of Tbilisi and serves as an active parish.
The site lies on the road that climbs towards the Jvari monastery above Mtskheta. The ancient capital is less than three kilometres away, with the road rising up the slope.
Visits are free and modest dress is appropriate for services. A headscarf is useful for women, and quiet is expected inside.
