Ninotsminda, Bodbe

This is the chapel were St. Nino (see older posts) who brought Christianity to Georgia, is buried. Today it is a nunnery, which in Soviet times where used as a hospital.


Beautifully carved door


Foreground is the little chapel (4th c.) and background is the bell tower, which has been renovated


Not St. Nino's grave, but nice no less. St. Nino's tomb is inside with a primative, but beautiful fresco,
lots of gold work, and enamel...sorry no photos


Lovely grounds surrounding the chapel. As we were leaving I noticed the bells in the trees.
