Melkite Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Beirut and Byblos, Catholic Metropolitan Archeparchy in Beirut and Byblos, Lebanon.
The archeparchy extends across multiple districts including Beirut, Jbeil, Metn, Keserwan, Baabda, and Aley, serving the Melkite Greek Catholic community.
Established in 1736 after the Melkite Patriarchate division, the archeparchy received its metropolitan status in 1881, marking a significant ecclesiastical development.
The Saint Elias Cathedral functions as the central religious institution, maintaining Byzantine liturgical traditions while following Catholic doctrines.
The archeparchy provides religious services to approximately 200,000 baptized members through its network of parishes across the Lebanese territory.
The jurisdiction holds the position of Proto-Throne of Antioch, established by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD.
