Palestinian Christians

We Palestinian Christians are the successors of several Christian heritages in the Middle East. My ancestors were Maronite Christians, a Lebanese blend of the Eastern Assyriac Church and the Latin Roman Catholic in uence, with some French undertones. The Maronite Christians guided the Crusaders when they rst entered the Holy Land, and we still protect the western Christians visiting the Middle East, roles that have helped to shape our faith in modern times.
