This recording was made on the steps of Sion Cathedral in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Georgian Orthodox structure dates to the 6th Century, but has been renovated extensively. Today is St. Nino’s Day, named in honour of the woman who brought Christianity to (what is now) Georgia in the 4th Century. The recording features polyphonic singing, and as the service ends, the bells are rung. Today’s celebration was attended by the Patriarchal locum tenens (acting Patriarch) Shio Mujiri (Georgian: შიო მუჯირი).
