Iranian Christians getting ready to celebrate Christmas

The Christians of Iran have been getting ready to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.

Every year, as we get closer to Jesus Christ’s birth anniversary, streets get busy with the people who are preparing to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.

The streets that were always packed with shoppers ahead of Christmas are now quiet due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

People are carefully trying to shop for the celebrations and keep the tradition alive.

Here are some photos of this year’s preparations for Christmas in Tehran.
