Saint Sarkis Cathedral, Tehran

It is a single-nave church built out of concrete whose exterior and interior walls as well as the floor are covered with white marble.

So therefore the bishop and committee members of the time asked Markar Sarkisian, an Armenian benefactor, to help them in this cause.

Since Markar died soon, his sons Gurgen and Vasgen Sarkisian financed the church project in memory of their parents.

[2][1][3] In 2006 Mr. Hrair Hagopian renovated the baptism pool and the church in memory of his beloved wife Vartoohi Davidian.

It is 3.50 meters high, and on its pedestal there are inscriptions in Persian and Armenian as well as the date 24 April 1915.
