A new subway station named in honor of the Holy Virgin Mary is set to open in central Tehran, Iran, marking a significant addition to the city’s Line 6 after nearly a decade of construction. The Holy Virgin Mary Subway Station sits at the intersection of Ostad Nejatollahi and Karimkhan Zand streets, near the Armenian Cathedral, and serves one of the busiest areas in the Iranian capital.
The name was chosen in recognition of Tehran’s Christian community and the revered status of Saint Mary in both Christianity and Islam. Tehran Municipality proposed the name, and it was later approved by the relevant authorities. Officials said the decision reflects the city’s acknowledgment of cultural and religious diversity in the capital.
