Melkite Greek Catholic Church

The Melkite Greek Catholic Church is an Eastern Catholic church that follows the Byzantine Christian tradition while remaining in full communion with the Roman Pope. Originating in the Middle East, especially in countries like Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, it combines Eastern liturgical practices, such as icons and chant, with Catholic doctrine. The church values both its Byzantine heritage and its unity with the wider Catholic Church, serving as a bridge between Eastern Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church. Its members are primarily Arab-speaking and emphasize vibrant worship, community, and spiritual continuity rooted in early Christian traditions.
