Mtskheta is a holy city to the Georgians. It was for a time the capital of Georgia. It also contains the Sveti-tshoveli Cathedral, built over a grave containing the garments worn by Christ on the mount. It seems that a Georgian man secured the garments in Jerusalem. He brought them back to Georgia and showed them to his sister who was very devout. The sister seized the garments and died in ecstasy. No one could extract the garments from the woman's arms. So she was buried with Christ's garments.
