Polish Jesuits, Missionaries To Iran

During the eighteen century the Catholic clergy started to propagate the faith and they dispatched a group of Karemili and Jesuit missionaries to Iran. The most important missionary sent from Poland was Tadeusz Juda Krusinski whose sojourn in Isfahan coincided with the last days of declining Sultan Hussein of the Safavid Dynasty.
