Did you know that Iran is home to some of the oldest Christian churches and monasteries on Earth? ????????☦️
While modern headlines often overlook the deep spiritual roots of the East, the history of Christianity in Iran dates back nearly 2,000 years to the very first century. In this video, Bible It explores the "hidden" Orthodox heritage of ancient Persia, from the Day of Pentecost to the tombs of the Apostles.
In this video, we uncover:
The Pentecost Connection: Why the "Parthians, Medes, and Elamites" mentioned in Acts 2:9 are the first Iranian Christians in the Bible.
Apostolic Foundations: The story of the St. Thaddeus Monastery (Qara Kelisa), traditionally founded in 68 AD by one of the Twelve Apostles.
The Magi’s Legacy: The ancient Church of Saint Mary in Urmia and its link to the Three Wise Men who followed the star to Bethlehem.
Persian Saints & Martyrs: The inspiring lives of St. Anastasius the Persian and St. James the Severed, who defended the Orthodox faith within the Persian Empire.
Sacred Architecture: A look inside the breathtaking Vank Cathedral and the unique blend of Persian and Christian art.
Christianity is not a Western import to Iran; it is an indigenous, ancient, and enduring faith that has survived for twenty centuries. Join us as we journey through the mountains of Azerbaijan and the plains of Isfahan to see the beauty of the Church in the East.
