Lebanese Order
Maronite religious order. The Lebanese Order (known also as the Lebanese Order of the Monks of Saint Anthony) was a Maronite monastic order founded in 1695, by Jibrāʼīl Ḥawwā, Yūsuf al-Bitn, and ʻAbd Allāh ibn Mīkhāʼīl al-Qarāʼalī, under the patronage of Patriarch Isṭifān Duwayhī. The mother house for this order was Mart Mūrā monastery, with Jibrāʼīl Ḥawwā as the first Father General. In 1770, it was divided definitively into al-Ruhbānīyah al-Ḥalabīyah (Aleppine branch) and al-Ruhbānīyah al-Baladīyah, or the Lebanese Maronite Order, (the Baladite or Lebanese branch).
