Iran Unveils Christian-Themed Metro Station Amid Religious Persecution Controversy
In Tehran's newest metro station, a plaque reads:
the message of Jesus Christ was the salvation of humans from darkness, ignorance, corruption, depravity and discrimination.
The Maryam-e Moqaddas station, or Holy Mary station, features a relief of Christ walking on water and a depiction of Mary praying among flowers.
State media describes the station's name and motif as a gesture of cultural coexistence, noting that Mary is also a venerated figure in Islam.
