Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Aleppo, Catholic Archeparchy in Aleppo, Syria.
The Saint Elias Cathedral stands as the central building of the Maronite Catholic Archeparchy, serving thousands of faithful in northern Syria.
The Maronite presence in Aleppo dates to the eighth century, as documented in the Chronicle of Michael the Syrian, with significant growth in the 1600s.
The archeparchy maintains the West Syro-Antiochene Rite, combining Middle Eastern traditions with Catholic practices in its religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
The archeparchy operates through five parishes across the Aleppo region, providing religious services and community support to approximately 4,000 Maronite Catholics.
In 1831, the Ottoman Empire granted civil recognition to the Maronite Church, enabling the restoration of the ancient Saint Elias Cathedral.
