Sioni Cathedral draws visitors with a chance to view the famous Saint Nino’s Cross. According to legend, when Saint Nino, Equal-to-the-Apostles and Enlightener of Georgia, brought Christianity to Georgia in the 4th century, she constructed this cross from vine leaves and her own hair. It remains the most important relic in the Georgian Orthodox church to this day.
