Social media users have warmly reacted to the news of the inauguration of the Saint Mary subway station in Iran’s capital, Tehran, describing it as a positive counter to the negative portrayal of the country in Western mainstream media.
In a post on X on Sunday, award-winning journalist Hala Jaber said the move symbolizes the peaceful coexistence of religious minorities in Iran.
Jaber said the opening reflects the constitutional protection and representation of Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians in Iran, with dedicated parliamentary seats for each community.
The presence of Christian murals in the metro station serves as a powerful message of tolerance and coexistence, demonstrating Tehran's commitment to peaceful living even in underground spaces, she added.
Tehran has officially opened its new “Saint Mary” metro station, which proudly displays Christian murals near the St. Sarkis Armenian Cathedral, catering to Iran’s significant Armenian Christian population of 100,000. (more...)
