23.11.23 12:15


Orthodox Christians in Georgia are today celebrating Saint George’s Day, one of the most significant days in the country’s religious calendar.

 

The majority of the Georgian population is Orthodox Christian, making celebrations of the date - known as Giorgoba - a public holiday in the country.

 

Festive liturgy is being held at churches across the country, including the Holy Trinity Cathedral in the capital city of Tbilisi.

 

Orthodox Christians celebrate Saint George’s Day twice a year, on May 6 and November 23 (according to the Julian calendar). November 23 marks the day when Saint George was tortured on the wheel.
