List of Persian saints
Though Persia/Iran had never been a Christian country, Christianity had enough of an impact on Persia and Persians to produce a considerable number of saints of this origin, at various times in the Church's history – some of them travelling far afield from their native country, such as Saint Ivo of Huntingdonshire who got his fame as a hermit in England.
