Alaverdoba
Alaverdoba ((グルジア語:ალავერდობა)) is a religious and folk celebration in the eastern Georgian province of Kakheti, with its roots in a harvest festival. It focuses on Alaverdi Cathedral from which it derives its name, with the suffix –''oba'' designating attribution. The festival lasts for several days, climaxing on 28 September, the feast day of St. Joseph of Alaverdi of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers, the 6th-century founder of the cathedral.
Historically Alaverdoba lasted for three weeks in a three-step cycle, reflecting pre-Christian cults related to the Moon. In the 19th century, a tradition of agricultural fair was added to the festival. It has been a subject of several contemporary ethnological accounts and travelogues〔Grigolia, Alexander (1977), ''Custom and Justice in the Caucasus: the Georgian Highlanders'', p. 39. Ams Pr Inc, ISBN 0-404-16406-4〕 as well as the focus of Giorgi Shengelaya’s 1962 semi-documentary ''Alaverdoba''.〔 Martin, Marcel (1993), ''Le cinéma soviétique: de Khrouchtchev à Gorbatchev, 1955-1992'', p. 60. L'Âge d'Homme, ISBN 2-8251-0441-8〕
Alaverdoba survived the Soviet era and is still widely celebrated in Kakheti, attended by locals as well as visitors from the neighboring communities such as the Kists from the Pankisi Gorge.〔Kurtsikidze, Shorena & Chikovani, Vakhtang (2002), (Georgia's Pankisi Gorge: An Ethnographic Survey ), p. 26.
