Too band no pics;

There are several pictures with them in their finery that cannot be posted because they are from AP. Best I can do is post these, from Reuters.

Notice, they sent a Muslim photographer to cover the event. One can only imagine just how enthusiastic he was at having to do this.

Thanks
In other photos from Iran BTW the women all had their heads covered as they queued to enter the church, this was a group permitted by aggreement from a former Caliphate and probably not in union with Rome . Here some did wear a shawl but most didn’t. In fact most of this congregation consisted of women with the men in the back of the church. The one pictured apparantly receiving communion was kneeling.
