History of Georgia is connected with different legends and exciting traditions. One of legends tells that in the period, when God divided territories between nations, Georgians had cheerful celebration they celebrated creation of the world. Different toasts and speeches were devoted to the ceremonious event. When the celebration was over, they, however, went to God, but it was too late. Then Georgians said: We are sorry, Dear, we are late, we were drinking your health. The God thought for a moment and said: "I saved one piece of land for myself, but because of your insistence and honesty, I dedicate it to you! But always remember that this land is especially beautiful and that is why people in all times will admire it!
