    کلیسای بیت اللحم از بزرگترین کلیساهای اصفهان است و از نظر نقاشی جزو ۲۳ کلیسای زیبای جهان می باشد که در دوره صفوی توسط خواجه پطرس ساخته شده است. On the southern portal there is an inscription as follows: Pray for Khaje Petros, who was a good man, in the presence of God. He built this church by his own personal expenditure for the immortality of his name and his father's name (Vali Jan) and his mother's name (Shoushan) and his family's name in 1077 (in the Armenian calendar which is 1627 in the Gregorian calendar).

    20220210 There are a couple of details about this place. To be able to get in here, you have to ask help from Vank church official staff, since the place is closed for public visits. Plus, there is another way to get in here, which is, to go to Seth Yessian hostel and ask for help from Mr. Zavik, who can provide and fix some visit time, since he is a resident of this church (the only resident family of this church). To be able to get in here, you need to fetch tickets, in two ways, to pay upfront in Vank church, or to use a debit card on a pos machine which is located at the entrance of this church. Believe me, this church is magnificent, and apart from its religious value, the paintings are awesome and the place has spectacular architecture, especially the indoor part. The indoor of this church sometimes have long usual tables of the church, or sometimes empty which makes it doable for photography without going around and between the tables. This review has a date tag on it, so be advised that this provided information might affect in time. One part of this information is fixed and that is Mr. Zavik's part.

    Armenian church, with beautiful wall and ceiling paintings. Dates back to the Safavieh dynasty. Looks almost ordinary from the outside, but once you enter the main "hall", the paintings are mesmerizing.

    The biggest church in Isfahan. It's really great and wonderful. You must go there and see paintings on the wall too. The ministrant has a good behavior and explains about church and paintings.

    Awesome

    It can be the second choice (after vank church) if u like to visit ancient churches in Isfahan. I usually prefer to visit new places instead of visiting one attraction several times. So in my last visit of Isfahan, I went there and I am satisfied for my decision.

    The church is quiet and relaxing. You'll find seats in the church to sit down and pray. The paintings are fantastic works of art.

    Everything is very good. Maybe. But they are not allowed into the church. It's closed. And when you knock or call, they send you a rude message. I am a little upset by the inhospitability of the Armenians of New Julfa. Some of them are not real Armenians.

    Bethlehem Church is one of the relatively large churches in Isfahan. This church is very close to Hakup Church and Saint Mary's Church (Holy Asvadzadzin) and is located in the north of these two churches. Bethlehem was built during the Safavid era by a person named Khwaja Petres Valijanian, a famous merchant of the Safavid era, and his burial and several members of his family are also located in the church yard.

    We visited this place in February 1402. It has a calm and nice environment and the inside of the church is very beautiful. Only not having a card reader to buy tickets Overall, I recommend visiting the church.
