"The Savior's Christmas is an important holiday in Christendom. With the blessing of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia on the occasion of Christmas, every year on January 7, people in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia - clergy and laity - collect donations, which after sorting will be placed in orphanages, nursing homes and penitentiaries.

This year, on January 7, after the Christmas celebrations, traditionally, gifts, clothes, toys and kickshaws donated will again be collected and distributed upon request. Those interested will be able to bring donations and various gifts [on January 7, from 12:00 pm to 16:00 pm] to the Republic Square, where they will be met by a group of people who will receive and sort the gifts. It will also be possible to deliver donations to the youth center of the Holy Trinity Lavra,” - the Patriarchate said.
