On Sunday, September 12, Armenians in Iran celebrated the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, one of the five tabernacle feasts celebrated by the Armenian Orthodox Church, and marking the return of the cross to Jerusalem after being in Persian possession.
The holiday rituals were marked in Tehran’s Saint Sarkis Orthodox Church by Archbishop Sebou Sarkisian in accordance with coronavirus pandemic health protocols. The church was designed by architect Eugene Aftandelians and was built in 1970, made possible through donations from Iranian Armenian philanthropist Markar Sarkisian.
