What the war has meant for Iranian Christians

6 July

“…they destroyed the churches and the monasteries far and wide with fire and sword, leaving nothing remaining save bare unroofed walls; and so thoroughly did they do their work that even our own present generation can seldom discover in those places any conclusive memorial of their ancient dignity, sometimes none.”

Simeon of Durham, early 12th century historian on the Viking invasion 867AD which eradicated Christianity in parts of England
