In the name of God Rahman and Rahim, the creator of love and peace, who placed his prophets as a beacon of humanity and a stairway to excellence.

I would like to extend my sincere congratulations on the auspicious birth of the messenger of peace and truth, Jesus Christ (PBUH) and the beginning of the new year to all Christian countrymen who have lived like the leaves of a firm tree in the ancient land of Iran and whose hearts are bound by love and affection.

Like the beloved Prophet of Islam (pbuh), Jesus Christ (pbuh) is a beacon of guidance and a promoter of authentic human values; A messenger whose words were the voice of justice and his steps were a sign of peace and love. Today, when the world is caught in the vortex of extremism, oppression and suffering, his name is still a reminder of empathy and hope.

In dear Iran, a land that is a manifestation of cultural and religious diversity, Christians have always formed a single figure of unity and solidarity side by side with other ethnic groups and religions. This peaceful coexistence is a clear example of the capacity of long-lasting Iranian culture, which is based on mutual respect, seeking justice, and the desire to honor the homeland.

As a servant of the culture of this land, I believe that this solidarity and unity will always lead us to brighter horizons.

The new year is an opportunity to think about a glorious future for our beloved Iran with hearts full of hope and determination and to step on the path of excellence in the culture and art of this border.

Once again, I congratulate all Christian compatriots on the arrival of these auspicious days and wish all Iranians and the world a year full of peace, health and happiness.
