Antonin Maronite Order

Antonin Maronite Order

The Antonin Maronite Order (known also as Antonins or Mar Chaya Monks) is a monk order among the Levantine Catholic Maronite Church, which from the beginning has been specially a monastic Church. The order was founded on August 15, 1700 in the Monastery of Mar Chaya, Lebanon by Maronite Patriarch Gabriel Al Blouzani from Blaouza (1704-1705).

Its name comes from the Arabic "Antouniyah" ( _ar. الرهبنة الانطونية), "Saint Anthony" monks. It is also called "Mar Chaaya" monks ( _ar. رهبان مار شعيا), in reference to the Monastery hosting the see of their Superior General. It is one of the three Lebanese congregations of Saint Anthony the Great monks alongside the Baladites and Aleppians.
