Iranian Christians celebrate Easter

Here are some photos showing Iranian Christians celebrating Easter in different churches in Tehran.

On Sunday, Iranian Christians across the country celebrated the Easter holiday with their families and loved ones.

They came together to express their joy and gratitude.

For many Iranian Christians, Easter is a time of renewal and hope. Despite facing significant challenges in practicing their faith, they remain committed to their beliefs and traditions. They gather in churches and homes to worship, sing hymns, and share meals with one another.

One Iranian Christian named Maryam shared her feelings about the holiday: "Easter gives us strength and hope. It reminds us that God is always with us, even in the midst of our struggles. We are so grateful for this celebration and the opportunity to be with our loved ones."

In Iran, religious minorities live in peace and harmony with Muslims, and freedom of practicing their religions is highly valued and respected.
