About event
Travel with us to an Iran that you have never seen before: a country with thriving Christian communities, magnificent cathedrals and monasteries that have existed uninterrupted for almost 2000 years.
This evening you will immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Armenian and Assyrian Christians, experience the gold and turquoise shining Vank Cathedral in Isfahan, the black stone church of Qara Kelisa (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the ancient pilgrimage sites of the Apostle Thaddeus and the quiet mountain monasteries in the north.
You hear Persian and Aramaic chants in the language of Jesus, see drone flights over centuries-old stone crosses and witness moving festivals and church services.
And you discover an almost forgotten chapter of German and European history: the traces of the Protestant and Catholic missionaries of the 19th and early 20th centuries in the old Persia.
A visually stunning lecture full of beauty, surprises and deep human encounters - far from all clichés and headlines.
Speaker: Mohammad Zarei
Venue: Winter Church of the Church of the Resurrection, Friedenstraße 83, 10249 Berlin
