The Maronite Mass

The Ritual of the Holy Mass according to the Antiochian Maronite Catholic Church that is today celebrated, has its origins in the ancient rites of the Universal Apostolic Church established centuries ago by Jesus Christ and by his Apostles. Since establishment of the Church by Christ, many diverse forms of Christian worship have developed. In the same period, the rites and customs observed by the Maronites have progressed and flowered into the form which can be seen on God's Altar today.
