Maronite Church

The Maronite Church is an Eastern Catholic church that follows the West Syrian liturgical tradition and is in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. Originating in Lebanon, it preserves unique liturgical rites, spiritual practices, and a strong cultural identity while recognizing the Pope’s authority. Maronites have a rich history dating back to the early Christian period and play a significant role in Lebanon’s religious and national identity. They celebrate their own liturgy and maintain traditions that blend Eastern Christian spirituality with Catholic doctrine, fostering unity among diverse Christian communities.
