    good church good people. This is not just church, it’s a monument of Armenian people in Iran. There are other churches in Tehran but this one is the best known because it’s in a good place that people see it and it’s beautiful from outside. If you ask any one in tehran to give you the address of a church , they will show you this one

    It is really a good and beautiful church, and I personally felt the presence of God and his peace in this church, and I could not even get this feeling in Imamzadeh and the shrine of Imam Reza, but in this church, the sense of peace and God's presence and It is a feeling that makes you think about God and hurt your heart. I suggest you go to the church at least once and try it once. I myself was really satisfied and even after visiting this church, good things happened to me

    It's a gathering place for the Armenians. If it were in Yerevan, it would look like an ordinary new church with ordinary architecture. But it is situated in an Islamic republic, between mosques and Tehran's skyscrapers. And it really matches with the dynamical life of Tehran. You can see Christian Armenian posters inside the church. Above it you can see an Islamic poster depicting Imam Khomeini. The existence of the church shows how tolerant the Iranian people are.

    Whenever I look at this church I feel great, with its white color. I never had a chance to visit the inside but I'm happy that our country respect different religions.

    A very beautiful church with a peaceful environment, the doors of which are open to tourists (Christians, Muslims and others) every day except Sundays (due to special religious ceremonies for Christians), and I suggest that you visit there if you are nearby.

  • 1/5 Attari Zahid Abbas K. 4 years ago on Google • 299 reviews
    The church is located at a busy road of capital city of Tehran. Iranian are so good to provide facilities to non muslims in the country but I think about a bad thing, habtually in Iran that is sectarianism. They considered muslim only to shia and life for other sects is not easy. All the Muslim People other than shia are not enjoying their lives but with extra ordinary care. Iranian people must relise this and need to change their mind set for all of the MUSLIMS.

    They are immensely rude! I was there with a friend, and we got verbally assaulted by an elderly church staff, who told us to get out! Dont visit this place, it is not nice at all and it has nothing to do with christ!
