Tbilisi Christmas Tree

On Rustaveli Avenue, in front of the Parliament of Georgia, the country's main Christmas tree was lit tonight.

The Christmas tree lighting ceremony started with a musical performance, telling the story of Christmas and the tradition of the Christmas tree. Then Mayor of Tbilisi, Kakha Kaladze, and the children who participated in the performance lit the main Christmas tree of the country. The Italian musician Stefano Signoroni and his band concluded the ceremony with a delightful concert.
