Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Homs, Byzantine Rite Cathedral in Homs, Syria.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace stands as the main church of the Melkite Catholic Archeparchy, serving eastern Catholic communities in central Syria.
The Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Homs emerged in 1849 through the unification of three ecclesiastical territories: Homs, Hama, and Yabrud regions.
The archeparchy maintains Arabic language liturgical practices within the Byzantine Rite, connecting local traditions with eastern Catholic worship methods.
Twenty-one parishes across the Homs and Hama governorates provide religious services to approximately 30,000 Melkite Catholics in the region.
The archeparchy maintains two principal churches: the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace and the co-cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen in Yabrud.
