Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 17: Archdiocese of Ispahan
This diocese was founded in 1629 by Italian missionaries to Isfahan, then the capital of the Safavid Empire. It got bumped up to an archdiocese in 1910. It serves roughly 10,000 Catholics in Iran, which must be a pretty tough gig. Even better, the cathedral is located in Tehran. Christians in Iran are apparently a protected religious minority, but I doubt there'll be much of an Easter parade there.
