Weitere Informationen:
The Sioni Cathedral of the Dormition (Georgian: სიონი (ტაძარი)) is a Georgian Orthodox cathedral in Tbilisi, Georgia. Following a medieval Georgian tradition of naming churches after particular places in the Holy Land, the Sioni Cathedral bears the name of Mount Zion near Jerusalem. It is commonly known as the 'Tbilisi Sioni' to distinguish it from several other churches across Georgia bearing the name Sioni. The current church is based on a 13th-century version with some changes in the 17th to 19th centuries. The Sioni Cathedral was the main Georgian Orthodox Cathedral and the seat of Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia until the Holy Trinity Cathedral was consecrated in 2004.. Tbilisi is an ancient city in an ancient country, with immense history, culture, pride and warm generous hospitality. This is no mere former Soviet satellite republic – they have their own language and their own unique alphabet. Georgian cuisine is distinctive, and rich, and Georgians pride themselves on being the earliest wine producers of Europe, still employing traditional methods which have been driven out of other wine producing countries by commercial pressures. Still little known by visitors, Georgia will probably become one of eastern Europe's tourist destinations.
