For example, church records for the Maronite and Armenian communities in Aleppo date back to the mid-19th century. If you can write your letter in Arabic or know someone who will write it for you, do that. If that is not possible, write the letter in English. Most areas have someone who can translate for the recipient. |

| The number of Christians in Lebanon has been disputed for many years. There has been no official census in Lebanon since 1932. The country is believed to have the largest percentage of Christians of all the Middle Eastern nations.

| | |
| The '''Maronite Church''', an Eastern Catholic church in full communion with the Catholic Church, is the largest and politically most active and influential denomination of Lebanon's Christians. The '''Catholic Church''' also includes other Eastern Catholic churches, such as the '''Melkite Catholic''' Church. The '''Eastern Orthodox Church''' forms the second largest proportion of Lebanese Christians. The '''Armenian Apostolic Church''' also forms a large portion of the Christian population in Lebanon.
| |
| | |
| The other six smaller Christian sects are considered ethnic Assyrians: '''(Syriac Orthodox, Syriac Catholics, Assyrian Church of the East and Chaldean Catholics)'''.
| |
| | |
| Most Protestants in Lebanon were converted by missionaries, primarily English and American, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are divided into a number of denominations, including '''Presbyterian, Congregational, and Anglican'''. They live primarily in Beirut (Greater Beirut).<ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Christianity in Lebanon", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Lebanon, accessed 12 April 2020. </ref><br>

| Among the Armenians in Lebanon there are some who belong to the '''Armenian Catholic Church'''. They are also refugees who had fled Türkiye during and after World War I and the Armenian genocide.
| |
| | |
| The members of the '''Syriac Catholic Church''' are also refugees who had fled southeastern Türkiye (present day Mardin region) during and after World War I and the Assyrian/Syriac genocide. Even today refugees continue to flee from northern Iraq and northeastern Syria into Lebanon or Jordan due to continuous unrest in Iraq and Syria. The Syriac Catholic Eparchy of Beirut is the proper archeparchy (Eastern Catholic (archdiocese) of the Syriac Catholic Church's (Antiochian Rite in Syriac language) Patriarch of Antioch in his actual seat, Beirut, Lebanon.

| ===Historical Background===
| |
| The Maronite Christians in Lebanon is the largest Christian denomination among the Lebanese people.
| |
| | |
| Maronite Church full communion with the Catholic Church was reaffirmed in 1182, after hundreds of years of isolation in Mount Lebanon. In accordance with the terms of union, they retain their own rites and canon law and use Arabic and Aramaic in their liturgy as well the Karshuni script with old Syriac letters.
| |
| | |
| In the late seventh century, as a result of persecutions from other Christians for the heterodox views they had adopted, the Maronites withdrew from the coastal regions into the mountainous areas of Lebanon and Syria. During the Ottoman era (1516-1914) they remained isolated and relatively independent in these areas. In 1857 and 1858 the Maronites revolted against the large landowning families. The revolt was followed by a further struggle between the Druzes and Maronites over land ownership, political power, and safe passage of community members in the territory of the other. The conflict led France to send a military expedition to the area in 1860. The disagreements diminished in intensity only after the establishment of the Mandate and a political formula whereby all denominations achieved a degree of political representation.
| |
| | |
| Leaders of the Rite have considered Maronite Christianity as the "foundation of the Lebanese nation". The Maronites have been closely associated with the political system of independent Lebanon; it was estimated that in pre-Civil War Lebanon members of this Rite held a large portion of the leading posts. However roles were shifted due to the Taif Agreement's theoretical balancing of power.

| ===Historical Background===
| |
| Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Lebanon is the second largest Christian denomination among the Lebanese people.
| |
| | |
| The Eastern Orthodox Christians include many free-holders, and the community is less dominated by large landowners than other Christian denominations. In present-day Lebanon, the Eastern Orthodox Christians have become increasingly urbanized, and form a major part of the commercial and professional class of Beirut and other cities. Many are found in the Southeast (Nabatieh/Beqaa) and North, near Tripoli. They are highly educated and well-versed in finance. The church has often served as a bridge between Lebanese Christians and the Arab countries, because it exists in various parts of the Arab world.

| |
| The Armenians in Lebanon were refugees who had fled Türkiye during and after World War I and the Armenian genocide.
| |
| | |
| The Apostolic Church was organized in the third century and became autocephalous as a national church in the fourth century. In the sixth century it modified the formulations of the Council of Chalcedon of 451 that confirmed the dual nature of Christ in one person. Instead the Apostolic Church adopted a form of Miaphysitism that believes in the united nature of divine and human in Christ, a belief shared by the Copts and the Syrian Orthodox Church (Oriental Orthodox Church). The Armenian Orthodox Church has two catholicoi (Sis and Etchmiadzin Cathedral) and two patriarchs (Constantinople and Jerusalem).
| |
| | |
| The Armenians in Lebanon reside mostly in Beirut and its northern suburbs as well as in Anjar. During the civil war the main stance of the Armenians was not to pick a side between Muslims or Christians and stay exempt mostly from the fighting. The largest Armenian community in Lebanon is found in Bourj Hammoud.

| The Archdiocese of Lebanon and Syria of the Assyrian Church of the East is based in the Mar Gewargis Church of Sad El Bouchrieh, Beirut, Lebanon. After the recent passing of the archdiocese's late Archbishop Mar Narsai D'Baz, Archbishop Mar Meelis Zaia of Australia and New Zealand temporarily took over the archdiocese, handling all church related issues in Lebanon. The current bishops, the Bishop of Europe and the Bishop of Syria, oversee their individual dioceses until a new Metropolitan is appointed.

Even today refugees continue to flee from northern Iraq and northeastern Syria into Lebanon or Jordan due to continuous unrest in Iraq and Syria.
| |
| | |
| There are several archdioceses and dioceses of the Syriac Orthodox Church on the territory of Lebanon.[31] The church follows the Syriac liturgy of St. James and has an independent hierarchy under the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, whose seat was formerly at Mardin in Türkiye and is now at Damascus, Syria.

| |
| According to tradition, the '''Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria''' was established by Saint Mark, an apostle and evangelist, in the middle of the 1st century (approximately AD 42). The ethnic Copts in Lebanon are estimated to be 3,000 – 4,000[20] and the Coptic Orthodox Church is one of the 18 religious sects recognized by the Lebanese Constitution.
