This Saint John Maron prayer candle honors the first Patriarch of the Maronite Church. It is a meaningful gift for Maronite Catholic families and anyone who loves the saints of Lebanon.
About Saint John Maron. John Maron was a Syriac monk who became the first Maronite Patriarch of Antioch. Tradition says he was born in 628 and that he entered the monastery of Saint Maron. He reposed in 707 at Kfarhay near Batroun in Lebanon, where a shrine is dedicated to him.
He has never been formally canonized, and his veneration is long established in the Maronite Church. Some historians have questioned details of his life, while other scholars accept that he served as the first Patriarch.
Choose this candle for a Maronite parish, a Lebanese Catholic family, a name day for someone named John or Yohanna, or a gift for a priest.
