Oh Danica - this was a wonderful history lesson to read this afternoon, thank you. It was such a fascinating cultural experience to share - far removed from the shark attack news back home. Thank you for helping us get to know the Georgian way of life and true spirit. Go burn!!! xxx

Thank you for this syncretic despatch Danica. Having just this morning been brushing up on the Christological debates and the early Coptic Christians, it was very nice to find your article and learn some new dimensions of faith, adaptation and survival.

You're certainly showing that "there’s more than one way to tell a story, create ritual, connect to place, or mark the passage of time."

Loved reading and learning about Georgia. It seems to have held on to some wonderful traditions despite the best intentions of the Soviets.
