Abstract

Abstract Jvari, the Church of the Holy Cross, overlooking the old capital of Georgia, Mtskheta, is a building that is literally and metaphorically on the edge. It is a liminal monument that crosses borders but also creates them. The church lies at the heart of Georgia’s Christian history, but in the seventh century it lay on the frontier between the Byzantine and Sasanian empires. Architecturally it belongs to a group of churches found across the Caucasus, but it has often been promoted as an exclusively Georgian monument. Jvari is a single monument that illuminates issues in transnational history, and the changing roles of a building in the creation of identities in the early Middle Ages.

边缘的艺术：圣十字教堂，乔治亚州Jvari

Jvari，圣十字教堂，俯瞰格鲁吉亚古老的首都姆茨赫塔，是一座字面上和隐喻上都处于边缘的建筑。这是一座跨越国界的纪念碑，但也创造了国界。这座教堂位于格鲁吉亚基督教历史的中心，但在七世纪时，它位于拜占庭帝国和萨珊帝国之间的边界。从建筑上看，它属于高加索地区的一组教堂，但它经常被宣传为格鲁吉亚独有的纪念碑。Jvari是一座单一的纪念碑，它照亮了跨国历史的问题，以及中世纪早期建筑在身份创造中的角色变化。
