“In Lebanon, saying one is Christian is not always a religious statement; it is more often political or cultural. By the end of the 15-year civil war in 1990, Christianity– in its three largest denominations there: Maronite Catholicism, Greek Orthodoxy, and Greek Catholicism — had lost its majority status due the large number of its constituents emigrating to Europe, Australia, and North America. Now a minority, even if a substantial one, Lebanese Christians are increasingly resorting to overt signs of religiosity as way to signal their presence and mark their territory: crucifixes are worn bigger, statues are commissioned larger, and more masses and vigils are celebrated outdoors.”
