History: Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Church, Majidieh
Saint Gregory the Illuminator was built in 1982 in Tehran’s Majidieh district. Navasargian’s history identifies it as a new Armenian church in that neighbourhood, and the Armenian Embassy’s diocesan inventory confirms the year. This Apostolic building is separate from Tehran’s older Armenian Catholic church with the same dedication.
An interesting detail
Grigor and Hrahuhi Melikian sponsored construction of the Majidieh church.
