This Massabki Brothers prayer candle honors three Maronite laymen of Damascus who were martyred in 1860 for refusing to deny Christ. It is a meaningful Maronite Catholic gift and a prayer for persecuted Christians.
About the Massabki Brothers. Francis, Abdel Mohti, and Raphael Massabki were Maronite Catholic laymen of Damascus. They were not priests or monks, but ordinary men who supported their families and were known in their community for their faith. In 1860, anti-Christian violence swept through Damascus. According to the Maronite tradition, they stayed, prayed, and refused to deny Christ even when given the chance to save themselves.
They are venerated in the Maronite Church and honored across the Eastern Catholic tradition as martyrs.
Choose this candle for a Maronite parish, a Lebanese or Syrian Christian family, a brotherhood or group of brothers, or anyone praying for persecuted Christians.
