of the Red Cross in the field of
the golden shubosani.
 Saint Giorgi is killing a dragon.
The shield has an Iberian
(Georgian) crown.
 The big one is supported by
golden lions on the two sides
and vine ornaments.
 Here is written in Georgian
alphabet: “unity is strength”.

4. The Flag of Georgia
 The flag of Georgia is also know as the FIVE
CROSS FALG.
 It is a white rectangle. It has a large red
cross in the center. The red cross touches
all four sides of the flag. In the four corners
there are four crosses of the same colour.
 Originally it was used a banner of the
medieval kingdom of Georgia.
 It got its status in 2004. the United
National Movement popularized it and

Revolution.

2004. 14 January is annually marked as a
Flag Day in Georgia.

5. Georgian Alphabet
 The Georgian scripts are the three
writing systems used to write the
Georgian language: Asomtavruli,
Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli.
 Nowadays Georgians use Mkhedruli.
 Letters are written horizontally from
left to right.
 Georgian scripts are unique in their
appearance and their exact origin
has never been established.
 Georgian is presently written in a 33-
letter alphabet.
 The scripts were granted the
national status of cultural heritage in
Georgia in 2015 and inscribed on the
UNESCO Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of
Humanity.

6. Kartlis Deda (“Mother of Georgia”)
 It is designed by a sculptor Elguja Amashukeli
and erected on the top of Sololaki hill in 1958,
the year Tbilisi celebrated its 1500th anniversary.
 It is the 20-meter-tall aluminum statue, wearing
Georgian national dress and holding a cup of
wine in one hand and a sword in the other.
 She symbolizes the Georgian national character:
wine stands for hospitality and the sword
represents every Georgians love of freedom
 Kartlis Deda stands upon the hill over-looking
the capital city Tbilisi. She is perhaps the most
important woman in all of Georgia: its protector
and a standing definition to others of what
Georgia is, has been and will be. She is vital to
the Georgian spirit. She is powerful and
necessary. She is beautiful.
