Signification
The start of the day.
Contexte culturel
The sun is a central symbol in Georgian paganism and later Christian art. The Borjgali symbol is found on all Georgian Lari coins. In Svaneti, there are ancient hymns dedicated specifically to the rising sun, performed to ensure a good harvest. Tbilisi's name comes from 'warm,' and the sun hitting the sulfur baths in the morning is a classic city image. Vineyard workers traditionally start their day exactly when 'mze amodis' to avoid the midday heat.
