HOLY TRINITY CATHEDRAL OF TBILISI, GOERGIA | Episode 2 Georgia 🇬🇪

The largest church in Georgia and one of the biggest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world, Sameba is hard to miss - no matter where you’re standing, chances are you can spot it’s lustrous gold dome.
To truly appreciate the scale of the facade and the building’s monumental footprint, you need to see it up close.
The church is perched on Elia Hill, with a cascading staircase leading to the main door. From the top of the stairs you get a fantastic view of not just the churchyard but also the city.
Inside, the bold verticality continues with soaring columns leading the eye skywards to the central dome. The walls are plastered with dozens of intricate icons and other artefacts.
Sameba was constructed over a decade-long period starting in 1995. This was a tough period for Georgia, thus the church came to symbolise the nation’s revival in the wake of the USSR’s demise.
Located in Avlabari, traditionally an Armenian neighbourhood, Sameba sits where an old Armenian church once stood - it was destroyed during the Soviet era. The attached cemetery survived, and you can still see some of the gravestones out back.
Sameba is one of the best places in the country to attend the Litonioba liturgy for Orthodox Easter. The Patriarch is in attendance, and many people dress in elaborate costumes for the occasion.
The main church gate is located directly opposite 26 Samreklo Street. There are several other entrances to Sameba - a little tip is to walk to Khivi Dead End instead and visit the church vestments shop (where seamstresses sew and embroider incredible robes and flags) then enter from here instead, passing by a smaller stone chapel on the way.
Don’t try to use the big double doors to enter inside Sameba - walk around to the southern side instead, where the public entrance is located.
