Feast in honor of Lazare

Improvisational cycle "Feast in honor of Lazare", dedicated to the Georgian pagan deity capable of bringing water or vice versa drying up the earth, dehydrating it. This is one of the few deities of the Georgian pagan pantheon whose hymns have not only survived, but have also been integrated into Christian cults almost in their authentic form.

Akh, Lazare, Lazare!

Tsas ghrubeli akhkare!

Aghar gvinda tsis nami,

Ghmerto mogve mzis tvali!

Aghar gvinda talakhi,

Ghmerto, mogve Gorakhi!
