A woman washes her child before taking part in Mariamoba (Day of the Virgin Mary) commemorations outside the Sioni Cathedral in Tbilisi August 28, 2008. Georgians flocked to churches on Thursday to pray for their country reeling from military defeat by Russia and the secession of two of its provinces. Hundreds of worshippers packed into the church for a three-hour service led by Orthodox Patriarch Ilia the Second to mark the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the entry into heaven of the mother of Jesus.
