    Churches of Tabriz

    TEHRAN, March 8 (Mehr News Agency) -- Shining as the oldest and
    largest church in Tabriz, Saint Mary's church was built in 1782 in
    the Armenian style of architecture.

    Beautiful pictures of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ, as well as
    several apostles decorate the walls of the prayer niche and the
    corners of the arch-shaped ceiling of the church in which religious
    and national Armenian ceremonies are performed.

    There are also several other churches in the city including the Saint
    Serkis and Saint Shoghat churches.

    Saint Serkis Church was built in 1821, and is located in the
    Barunavak district of the city. It is also decorated with pictures of
    the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ and several apostles. Another church is
    on Valman Alley and a Gothic-style church built in 1910 is located on
    Miyarmiyar St.

    Shoghat Church is located next to the Armenian graveyard of the
    Maralan district near Saint Mary's Church.
