Since the advent of Jesus Christ, Iranian culture and literature have paid special attention to him and Christianity. This feature became more prominent in the Safavid era for political, social, cultural, and ideological reasons. Saib Tabrizi, the greatest poet of that era, made a substantial contribution to reflecting this feature in his poems. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this article investigates the events of the life of Christ in the six volumes of Saib’s Divan. The findings showed that the religious characteristics of Saib’s era, his mystical and moral perspective, the attachment of the audience of Saib’s poetry to Christ and Christianity, and finally Saib’s tendency to thematize and elaborate his subtle imagination and his knowledge of the events of the lives of the heavenly prophets played a fundamental role in presenting a full image of Christ. By referring to the life of Christ and other divine messengers, he sought to bring religions and sects closer to one another; a goal that is needed by the global community today.
