tours starts with visiting Gurjaanis kvelatsminda - two dombed church of 8th century, is a wonderful example of a transitional period in the Georgian culture. This 8th century church of Dormition of the Virgin is unique in the way that it is the only two-domed temple in Georgia. The encircling path lies on the second floor. One of the multiple traditions relates that as one of the miracles by Virgin Mary, the cathedral had milk overflowing from its walls. This is why it was frequently visited by nursing and dried up mothers. The pilgrims usually returned home cured. Nowadays it is a site for a fully functioning monastery.
