Laz Song Concert
May 12 is a state holiday associated with the arrival of the enlightener of Georgia, St. Andrew the First-Called, in Georgia. The same day is also celebrated as the Day of Commemoration of the Lazi Saints. Every year, to celebrate this day, the Patriarchate organizes a procession from the city of Ofi in Turkey (from the Episcopal Cathedral of the Georgian Church of Batumi and Lazeti) along the route that St. Andrew the Apostle traveled. To celebrate this day, we intend to hold a Lazi song concert, where Georgian pop stars will perform their famous hits in Lazi. Lazi singers from Turkey and Germany will come to the concert, who will perform both Georgian and Lazi songs. The Lazi region and the route that the great apostle traveled to enlighten Georgia will be briefly described. At the concert, monuments of Lazi culture (fortresses, bridges, houses) will be shown on the screen. Speeches will be delivered by representatives of the government and the church, as well as official guests invited from Turkey (mayors of cities friendly to Georgia and members of the Turkish Parliament). Event starts at 19:00.Children under 5 years old are admitted without a ticket.
