| | Maronite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Maronites (Marunoye ܐܶܝܢܘܪܡ in Syriac, Mâruniyya مارونية in Arabic) are members of an Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Pope of the Latin-Rite Catholic Church. | | | The head of the Maronite Church is the Maronite Patriarch of Antioch, who is elected by the bishops of the Maronite church and now resides in Bkirki, north of Beirut. | | | The Maronites, because of their monastic origin, were able to withstand intense pressure and even persecution to preserve their Church, not just by the Muslims, but also by separated brethren such as the Orthodox and Churches of the East, as well as efforts at Latinization from Rome. |

| | The Maronites, members of Semitic Christianity, have contributed immensely to the Universal Church, especially in the ascetic perception of their faith. | | | Not only did the Maronite clergy practice ascetic ideals but the Maronite people also were ascetic in one or another of these ways: asceticism and working on the land; asceticism and the quest for knowledge; and asceticism and martyrdom. | | | It states that, historically, asceticism was a fundamental aspect of Maronite monasticism as it evolved. |

| | About Cyprus |
| | Although the Maronites are educated in Greek schools and speak fluent Greek, they have their own Arabic language, they practice their own Catholic Maronite religion, they use the Aramaic language in their liturgy and they have their own culture and customs. | | | "Maronitism" meant the Christian movement inspired by St Maron, his disciples and his monasteries which were a source of edification for many of the faithful. | | | Under Ottoman rule (1571-1878), and especially from 1750 onward, the Maronite Church in Cyprus was under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Church. |

| | North Cyprus: Maronite-Cypriot Community |
| | Though their traditions assert that the Maronites were always orthodox Christians in union with the Roman see, there is evidence that for centuries they were Monothelites, followers of the heretical doctrine of Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, who affirmed that there was a divine but no human will in Christ. | | | Maronite Church is one of the largest Eastern-rite communities of the Roman Catholic Church, prominent especially in modern Lebabon; it is the only Eastern-rite church that has no non- Catholic or Orthodox counterpart. | | | The immediate spiritual leader of the Maronite church after pope is the patriarch of Antioch and all the East, residing in Bkirkí, near Beirut. |

| | Welcome to the Maronite Church! |
| | The Maronite Church, one of the oldest churches of Catholicism, was led by Maron, a priest (350-410 A.D.) who devotedly taught the Catholic faith, and ministered to many people with his gifts of healing and counsel. | | | In the Maronite Church, the Holy Spirit is the Principal Minister, and the celebrant is the instrument. | | | In the maronite Church, the East Apse is significant since it symbolizes the kingdom, and focuses the community's attention on Christ's coming in glory. |
