The Wolf

Central to many famous legends, even to this day the wolf is revered for both his physical and mystical powers. No more so than in Georgia, a region with long and famous link to this noble creature. Over a millennium ago, the invading Persians called Georgia "Virshan", a name that means "Country of the Wolf". The wolf was already one of the ancient symbols of the Georgian people and became central to many of its national legends and religious ceremonies.
