Figures in an Arched Niche. Georgian tradition holds that the Apostle Andrew, the First-Called, preached in these lands — one of the earliest threads in the nation’s Christian story. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. At the Battle of Krtsanisi in 1795 the 300 Aragvians fought to the last man defending Tbilisi — their sacrifice is still remembered every year.
