Description
 
Pilgrimage to Dzhvari is set in the last days of the Communist regime when people from all levels of Soviet society are searching for ways to reconnect with their memories of goodness and truth.

As they find their way back into the churches, they discover that more than the physical structure of the buildings needs restoration. The very fabric of the Christian faith has been torn.

A writer leaves her work in Moscow and sets out to visit the few remaining monasteries in the Georgian Caucasus. She and her teenage son yearn to deepen their understanding of the mystical teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

In particular, they seek instruction in the Prayer of the Heart, the constant internal repetition of the words, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. For centuries this practice -- known in the West as the Jesus Prayer -- has been one of the principal disciplines of monks, priests, and elders of the Eastern rite.

The path Veronica and her son have chosen is not an easy one, but as they learn to accept and embrace the people they encounter and the difficult conditions inherent in every situation, they realize that knowledge of God can come to anyone who serves with enough patience and love...
