This account by Archpriest Petre Konchoshvili of his travels to Jerusalem and Mount Athos in 1899, was first published in Georgian in 1901. The book's main interest is the relations between the Georgians, Greeks and Russians in the Holy Land and his comments are particularly enlightening in view of the historical events of the period. It will be of interest to history students, scholars interested in travellers and pilgrims, as well as those interested in Orthodox liturgy. This volume provides an English translation prepared by John Wilkinson and Mzia Ebanoidze.
