Unknown people threw eggs at the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, the second oldest in the country. The western facade and the door of the Anchiskhati Cathedral, were smeared with broken eggs.

"Unfortunately, those who came to the service in the morning had to witness vandalism," Archpriest Khachidze noted.
