January 18, 1976 Lebanese Christian militias in Karantina, Beirut

50 Years Ago Today
January 18, 1976

Christianity has a long and continuous history in Lebanon. Biblical scriptures show that Peter and Paul evangelized the Phoenicians, leading to the dawn of the ancient Patriarchate of Antioch. As such, Christianity in Lebanon is as old as the Christian faith itself. Christianity spread slowly in Lebanon due to pagans who resisted conversion, but it ultimately spread throughout the country. Even after centuries of living under Muslim empires, Christianity remains the dominant faith of the Mount Lebanon region and has substantial communities elsewhere.
