In the heart of Vejini, in the majestic municipality of Gurjaani, immersed in the beauty of Kakheti, stands the Church of St. George. This historical artifact, along with its single tower, has survived the trials of time. At times, it seemed that the building was forgotten and lost in time, but the power of faith and cultural heritage performed a miracle.
A symbol of faith and spiritual rebirth, the church greets its visitors with an ancient niche above the north door, in which a cross was once crowned or a stone with an inscription was inserted. Getting inside, you will find a modest cell where believers lit candles and left their donations.
But time spares no one, and the Church of St. George did not stand aside. In 2018, her rehabilitation began, which returned her to her former beauty. The foundations were strengthened, the stone cornices were restored, weak areas were re-laid, and the structures acquired new strength. Every stone, every brick is imbued with history and mystery, which makes this place especially attractive for exploration.
Visitors coming here can not only enjoy the grandeur of this ancient architectural masterpiece, but also be imbued with the spiritual and cultural traditions of Kakheti. Veginie is not only a meeting place with the past, but also with a powerful energy of faith and hope that continues to live in the hearts of its visitors.
