TBILISI, Oct 14-Sputnik. On October 14, Georgia celebrates a great religious holiday — Mtskhetoba-Svetitskhovloba, dedicated to the Lord's Chiton and the Life-giving Pillar, exuding miraculous myrrh.

In Georgia, October 14 is not a working day.

Traditionally, the epicenter of the celebration on this day is the ancient capital of Georgia — Mtskheta and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, where believers from all over the country begin to gather early in the morning. Catholicos-Patriarch of all Georgia Ilia II will hold a service in Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in the morning.

Meanwhile, the center of Mtskheta will gradually begin to turn into one big festive event. Festivities will continue until late at night.

Holiday svetitshovloba in Georgia is celebrated twice: on 14 October - the day it falls on the feast of the Holy virgin, and again on 13 July, as the Christian world celebrates on this day the Cathedral is glorious and all-praised Twelve apostles, which is dedicated to Holy cross Church.
