Some pictures that went round Facebook recently showing two cathedrals in Iran, starting with the Armenian Orthodox Vank Cathedral in the city of Isfahan above. Just read that this cathedral dates back to 1664, and that Isfahan contains a few churches that go back to the 17th century.
The two shots below are from inside Vank Cathedral which is incredibly beautiful:
Below, there is a shot of St. Sarkis' Armenian Cathedral in Tehran which I've just read was built between 1964 and 1970:

Must read some more about the Christian cathedrals and churches in Iran. Have always been aware that there are some Christian cathedrals/churches in Iran probably mainly due to the Armenians that live there, but this is the first time that I've seen any shots of them.
