A view of Saint Stephanos Church
he church of Saint Stephanos is among a handful of magnificent churches that were built between the tenth and twelfth centuries, AD The church's architectural style is a mixture of Urartan, Parthian, Greek, and Roman styles that came to be known as Armenian subsequent to the construction of the fantastic structures of Echmiadzin, Thaddeus, Akhtmar, and indeed Stephanos. With respect to the history of the construction of this building, which is considered one of the architectural masterpieces of north-western Iran, there are a number of differing views. Some maintain, regardless historical events or the evolution of architectural styles, that this structure dates from the first century of Christianity. Others, such as Tavernier, hold that the church dates from the middle of the Safavid era. However, historic evidence, the type of construction, the building materials, the ornamentation, the philosophy behind the ornamentation, and the circumstances that allowed for the creation of this church all attest to the fact that it was constructed in the same manner and during the same period as Akhtmar and Thaddeus; that is to say, during the tenth to twelfth centuries AD. This church, which has found its place in the hearts of Christians throughout the world and is visited annually by hundreds of Iranian and foreign tourists, is located in the abandoned village of Dare Sham, in the Gechlart district, situated in the Poldasht section of Maku. Prior to 1971 it was accessible only by dirt path, however, at that time a road was constructed providing access by automobile.
Daniel's furnace is a hall connected to the church's northern wall, with a width of 6 meters and a length of 20 meters. It is divided into three parts: the furnace, a congregation space, and a baptismal fountain. The furnace is separated by a wall from the congregation hall which is located in the center of the space. The baptismal urn is situated in the eastern extremity of the hall and stands in the middle of a high platform. It should be noted that this furnace is not, in fact, named after the prophet Daniel of the Old Testament, but rather, is named after Saint Daniel, who was born in Syria in the year 410, and after eighty years of devotion and asceticism, died in Sunisat, a village on the shores of Terat. The belfry is located on a two storied balcony that is connected to the church's southern wall. This tower is octagonal in shape, and stands on eight cylindrical columns, all of which are of the same red stone as the church and with exceptionally well designed capitals. The arches between the columns, or what might be considered the arcade of the tower, are ornamented with relief of angels, crosses, floral patterns, stars, and eight-petal flowers. This tower was rebuilt, and renovated under Nayeb ul Saltaneh.
