Antique Lithograph of a Maronite Priest: Custodian of Tradition and Faith, 1862

About the Item

Maronite Priest: Custodian of Tradition and Faith, Plate 54 This vibrant lithograph portrays a Maronite priest, garbed in traditional black robes, emblematic of his solemn devotion and monastic roots. The figure holds a small red book, likely a religious text, signifying the rich liturgical and spiritual heritage of the Maronite Church. His serene expression and confident stance reflect the steadfastness of the Maronite clergy in preserving their ancient traditions. Historical Context: The Maronite Church, an Eastern Catholic Church, traces its origins to the followers of St. Maron in the 4th century. Centered in Lebanon, the Maronite community has maintained its distinct Syriac liturgical traditions while remaining in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. Their resilience amidst historical challenges has solidified their role as a vital link between Eastern and Western Christianity. Provenance: This illustration is part of the *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome,* created by G. Perugini and published in Paris by A. Lemaître. Plate 54 honors the Maronite clergy's legacy as bridge-builders of faith and culture across diverse Christian traditions.
