Baladites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baladites (or Valadites, known also as the Lebanese Maronite Order), 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.

Its name comes from the Arabic baladiyah (Arabic: الرهبنة البلدية ), 'country' monks. It is one of the two Lebanese congregations of Saint Anthony the Great monks alongside the Aleppians(or halabiyyah), monks of Aleppo, a city in present Syria, antonym of baladiyah. Pope Clement XIV sanctioned this separation in 1770.

A third Lebanese monks order is that of Saint Isaiah, known as the Antonine Order.
