Kvirikoba Festival: Svaneti's Stone Lifting Tradition

Every July, people gather in the mountains of Svaneti for Kvirikoba – a traditional festival held at Lagurka Church above Kala village. The day begins with a steep walk to the hilltop church, where candles are lit, offerings are made, and blessings are given. Outside, the focus shifts to strength rituals, including lifting a heavy church bell and hoisting massive stones. 👉 Full Svaneti travel guide: https://wander-lush.org/things-to-do-... #Svaneti #GeorgiaTravel #Kvirikoba
