Maronite Antonine Order celebrates 325th anniversary in presence of President Aoun
The Maronite Antonine Order celebrated its 325th anniversary (1700–2025) with an official and public ceremony at the Monastery of Mar Chaaya in Metn. The event was attended by President of the Republic General Joseph Aoun, First Lady Neamat Aoun, and Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Bechara Boutros Rahi. In his homily after the Gospel, Patriarch Rahi prayed alongside the President for the extension of state sovereignty and the establishment of a just and lasting peace across all Lebanese territory. Rahi also called for the initiation of a reconstruction plan and expressed hope that Lebanon remains "a nation of mission and calling, a land of holiness and witness, a country of unity in diversity intended by God to be a beacon in the East." He added: 'We also pray for a sincere national will and sustained effort to move beyond the mentality of quota-sharing, obstruction, and isolation—toward an inclusive national vision that builds rather than destroys, unifies rather than divides.'
