Who was Saint Maron? My family is Uke and I have cousins without a drop of Lebanese named Maron. |

One of the original Saints of the Church...Maron is most likely a derivative of Marion....I believe if my memory serves me MAron was a hermit Monk in Lebanon and revitalized the church ...It is one of the churches that speak Aramaic, the original language of early Christians and Jesus. |

Then is there much difference between that religion and that of the Chaldeans of Syria or Iraq? |

I believe that they are similar...there are Maronite's in Syria and Israel/Palestine. But got to remember there were so many off shoots of early Chritians in the region. The Maronite's aligned themselves with Rome for help in the 1800's during a civil war that ultimately lead to immigration to the USA. |

I will get some research this week and get back to yah. I do know that Maronite's turned to Rome early on for protection and France was in charge of them. In Syria and Palestine/Israel there were Christian towns of Maronite's and similar faiths... One big Mosaic of original Christian churches in the region. Many moved and settled in USA and Australia. |

I think St Maron and St Sharbel are the two most popular Lebanese saints. Isn't the church at Kercheval and St Jean ? |

I meant I thought there was another site for St. Maron/Sharbel forums.
My Brother is a Chor Bishop for the Maronite rite. |

Ron I accidently started in the connect forum.
We can start one there..it would be interesting to get a thread started on actual families and friends of St. Marons...but then again many could be our relatives... :} |

I remember when St. Maron's was built...must have been in the early Sixties. I went to school with a lot of Lebanese kids (their last names were Joseph, Michaels, Simon)at St. Ambrose,and they were all excited that they finally had church of their own. I always wondered why their last names sounded like first names. Any clues? |
