Christians Celebrate Christmas In Tehran

Especially in Tehran’s Christian neighborhoods, you can see Christmas trees adorned with red, green, and gold gift boxes. These decorations frequently adorn shop windows and grace the entrances of various shopping malls and hotels.

During Christmas in Iran, shops along Mirza Shirazi Avenue and Ostaad Nejatollahi (Villa Avenue) in central Tehran, where many Iranian Christians live, showcase decorated trees and Nativity scenes featuring the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. These festive displays are also common in the surrounding neighborhoods.
