On September 16, Tbilisi-located St. Gevorg Armenian monastery hosted a liturgy to celebrate the Ascension holiday.
The event also marked the launch of restoration works of the monastery, with St. Gevorg Restoration Foundation having assumed the responsibility two years ago.
The liturgy was followed by a concert featuring Armenian songs and dance performances.
St. Gevorg monastery is a 13th century Armenian church in Old Tbilisi, Georgia and is the seat of the Armenian archbishop. The cathedral is built on a traditional plan of a partitioned, open cross with a rectangular perimeter. Like most of the churches in Tbilisi, it is built in brick. In front of the church is the tomb of the famous Armenian poet Sayat Nova.
