Local Editor

Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei went to the houses of a number of Iranian Christian martyrs and met their families at a time when Christians are celebrating Christmas across Iran.

In a picture published by ‏@khamenei_ir twitter account on Saturday, Imam Khamenei can be seen during a meeting with the mother of a Christian martyr who lost life during the Iraq-Iran war.

"Soldiers' endeavor roots in mothers' endeavor," was one of the sentences the Leader has told the old mother, whose son was martyred during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s.

Imam Khamenei's visit to the house of Armenian Christian citizens is not something new.

The Leader has repeatedly highlighted Islam's pacific attitude towards others, saying Islam has ordered Muslims to treat the followers of other religions with "fairness and justice."

Religious minorities, including Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians have representatives in the Iranian parliament.
