    Благодарность мусульманскому Ирану за чудесное сохранение удивительного по красоте памятника армянской апостольской Церкви. Великие народы памятники истории не разрушают.

    These region, where St Toddeh and St Stephan were built, use to be in historic Armenia. Thousands of Armenian churches & monasteries were destroyed by the Mongol Turks and Azeris. If we lost our historic lands to anyone, at least thank the Lord, these churches fell into Iranian territory. Otherwise, they would have been destroyed as well. I was born in this area and our families would go on Christian pilgrimages to honor our religion and all those innocent Armenians who were massacred by Turks. As a result of the massacres, many left the area out of fear of Turks and Kurds. There were many many horror stories from the past. God Bless Iran for preserving and respecting our historic Christian monasteries. They are truly magnificent work of art. I just wish some of the artifacts would be returned to Armenia. 🇦🇲❤️☦️🙏

      This church and many in this region, were once in historic Armenia. Sadly, the Turks have destroyed so many of them. Luckily, this part of Armenia fell into Persian territory. Persians have more humanity in one pinkie finger than millions of Mongol Turks put together. God Bless Iran and it's people! After all, we all pray to the same God ✝️🙏❤️🇦🇲
