Despite 70 years of Soviet rule that forbade practicing religion, Georgians continue to hold on to many of their Georgian Orthodox Christian traditions. The Baker family shares their moving experience at their daughter's baptism while in Georgia.

In 337 AD Georgia adopted Christianity, largely due to the efforts of Nino from Capadocia, or St. Nino (also called St. Nina). The Georgian Orthodox Church is one of the oldest continuously practiced Christian faiths. It is governed by patriarchs who trace their rule back to the 11th century. St. George is also an important figure in Georgian religion and history. His Holiness, llia II (Irakli Shiolashvili) is currently the patriarch and leader of Georgian orthodoxy.

The Georgian Orthodox Church practices tolerance with regard to different ethnic and religious groups. Today Georgia has groups of Jews, Catholics, Sunni and Shiite Muslims, Baptists, Adventists, and others. An excellent source of detailed information on Georgian religion is Besiki Sisauri's web site. Haruth Communications gives great information on the site Jews of Georgia.
Bishop Malkhaz Songulashvili of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia posts stories and thoughts about living in Georgia. For most of Georgia’s history, the country has tolerated diverse religious views, as witnessed by the vibrant Jewish community in Tbilisi today. In recent years, however, Jehovah’s Witnesses and some other Protestant congregations were persecuted by small groups. Bishop Songulashvili’s entries make interesting reading about the years during this persecution.
