Maronite Christians

Maronite Christians are a group of Eastern Catholics primarily from Lebanon, known for their unique religious heritage and traditions. They follow a distinct liturgy and are in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, which means they adhere to its teachings while maintaining their own practices. The Maronite community traces its roots to Saint Maron, a 4th-century monk. Maronites have played a significant role in Lebanon's history and culture, contributing to its vibrant society. They value their religious identity and continue to uphold their customs, especially in the context of a diverse and often tumultuous region.
