(International Christian Concern) Last week, the tomb of Esther and Mordecai in Iran’s Hamadan was set on fire on the 72nd anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel. The Director-General of Hamadan’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department announced that the fire only affected the annex building rather than the main site.
