Lebanese Orthodox community
The Lebanese Orthodox community primarily refers to members of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith in Lebanon, most notably the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch. They form one of Lebanon’s religious communities, maintaining Christian traditions, liturgy, and church hierarchy rooted in Byzantine Christianity. The community has played a significant role in Lebanon's social and political life, often balancing religious identity with national consciousness. Despite socio-political challenges, Lebanese Orthodox Christians preserve their religious practices, cultural heritage, and community institutions, contributing to Lebanon’s diverse religious landscape.
