Iranian cultural officials have announced the publication of a book about Armenian churches in Tehran, with over 100 high-quality pictures. The guide has been collected through the efforts of Armenian artists and offers information about places of worship dating back to 190 years ago.

The book provides floor plans of all churches in Tehran and maps showing the distribution of Armenians in Tehran since the time they first settled in the city. The book is the result of an 8-month cooperation between Ara Megredoomian (photographer), Arman Estepanian (graphic designer and photographer), Arlen Estepanian (architect), and Arpiar Petrosian (architect).

The largest church in Iran is the Armenian Apostolic Church, which dates back to around 300AD.

Its doctrines are similar to the Eastern Orthodox Church, although services follow traditional Armenian rites and the Armenian language is used.
