Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Georgia, in the hilly contours of the Imereti region, is the Motsameta Monastery. This remarkable piece of history lounge on a cliff promontory, overlooking the meandering Tskaltsitela River.
The noble brothers David and Constantine resist the invading Arabs in the 8th century. When their rebellion faltered, they refused the offered clemency, which required their conversion to Islam. Instead, they obtained the torture and death, their bodies discarded into the river, forever coloring its waters in red.
Following the tragic fate of the Mkheidze brothers, the Church of the Annunciation, their resting place, was destroyed by the Arabs. However, Bagrat IV, a king who ruled Georgia in the 11th century, commissioned the construction of a new building on this sacred site.
Today, the monastery worships David and Constantine and it is also a testament to Georgia's compelling history and deep-rooted spirituality.
