This 350 Maronite Martyrs prayer candle honors the monks of the Monastery of Saint Maron, remembered as the first martyrs of the Maronite Church. It is a meaningful gift for Maronite Catholics and anyone who loves the saints of Lebanon and Syria.
About the 350 Maronite Martyrs. In the year 517, monks of the Beth-Maron monastery near Apamea in Syria were killed by opponents of the Council of Chalcedon because they held fast to its teaching on Christ. The account is preserved in a letter the monks sent to Pope Hormisdas, who replied in February 518. The Maronite Church commemorates them on July 31.
Their witness is remembered as a cornerstone of Maronite identity.
Choose this candle for a Maronite parish, a gift for a Lebanese Catholic family, or anyone praying for persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
