Maronite Christians are a group of Eastern Catholics primarily found in Lebanon. They follow the Maronite Church, which is in communion with the Roman Catholic Church but maintains its own distinct liturgy and traditions. The Maronite community has a rich history that dates back to the early Christian era, particularly associated with the teachings of Saint Maron. The Maronite Church emphasizes the importance of both faith and culture, often blending religious practices with local customs. Maronites have played a significant role in the history and politics of Lebanon, contributing to the country's diverse cultural landscape.
