EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Mtatsminda Mountain in Tbilisi, Georgia, circa 1905. At the time, Tbilisi was part of the Russian Empire. The mountain, with its distinctive profile and lush greenery, dominates the city skyline. Nestled on the hillside is the St. David's Monastery, a significant monastic complex and pilgrimage site. The whitewashed church with its red-tiled dome stands out against the verdant landscape. The School of Saint Nino, a girls' school, is also visible in the image. The school was an important educational institution for young Georgian girls during the Russian period. The funicular railway, a popular means of transportation to the mountain, can be seen winding its way up the slope. Mtatsminda Mountain holds deep religious and cultural significance for the Georgian people. According to legend, Saint Nino, the patron saint of Georgia, converted the King Mirian III to Christianity on the mountain in the 4th century. The mountain and the surrounding area have since been a site of pilgrimage and worship. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty of Tbilisi and the importance of its religious and educational institutions during the Russian era. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and traditions of Georgia and its people.
