Lebanese Maronite Order

Lebanese Maronite Order

The Lebanese Maronite Order (known also as Baladites or Valadites), is a monk order among the Levantine Catholic Maronite Church, which from the beginning has been specially a monastic Church. The order was founded in 1694 in the Monastery of Mart Moura, Ehden, Lebanon by three Maronite young men from Aleppo, Syria under the patronage of Patriarch Estephan El Douaihy (1670-1704).

Its name "Baladites" comes from the Arabic "baladiyah" (Arabic: الرهبنة البلدية ), "country" monks. It is one of the three Lebanese congregations of Saint Anthony the Great monks.

The second order is the Aleppians (or "halabiyyah"), monks of Aleppo, a city in present Syria, antonym of baladiyah. This order resulted from a split with the Baladites. Pope Clement XIV sanctioned this separation in 1770.

The third Lebanese monks order is that of Saint Isaiah, known as the Lebanese Antonin Order founded on August 15, 1700 by the Patriarch Gabriel Al Blouzani from Blaouza (1704-1705).
