A brief history
An Armenian Apostolic church in District 12 of Tehran, and the second-oldest church in the city after Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew. The two stand about a kilometre and a half apart in the old quarter, and between them they mark where Tehran's Armenian community first settled.
Saints & traditions
After Mary, Saint George is the dedication this directory repeats most often — from Cairo and Beirut to Lod and now Tehran, one name carried across languages, rites and centuries.
