Question

The Holy See sent Jerome Dandini and Giovanni Eliano as missionaries to this church, where they amended its liturgy to drop the phrase “Thou who wast crucified for us” from the Trisagion. James the Solitary was a hermit taught by the founder of this church, whose congregation remembers their dead before Lent during the Three Sundays of Commemoration. A chronicle named for this church was the first in history to mention the Islamic cry “God is great.” (-5[2])A saint from this church with an incorruptible corpse was named Charbel (“shar-bell”). The Patriarchate of this Antiochene (“an-TYE-uh-keen”) church based in (10[1])Bkerké (10[1])(“b’kerr-kay”) traces itself back to an eponymous (-5[1])5th-century saint from the Taurus (-5[1])Mountains (10[1])and, (10[2])like the Melkite Church, uses the West Syriac Rite. Members of this church have clashed with the Druze while (-5[1])bearing banners (10[1])of (10[1])the Levantine (10[1]-5[1])cedar tree. (10[1]-5[3])For 10 (10[1])points, what Christian church’s members primarily reside in (-5[1])Lebanon? (10[1])■END■ (10[6]0[3])

ANSWER: Maronite Church [or Antiochene Syriac Maronite Church; accept Maronites or Maronite Christians; accept Maronite Chronicle; prompt on Eastern Churches or Eastern Catholic Churches; prompt on Syriac until “West Syriac Rite” is read; reject “Syriac Orthodox”] (The church is named for Saint Maron or Mārūn.)
