The Maronite mass

Kormacit holds one of only two churches in North Cyprus, where a christian mass is hold every day:

  1. St George’s Cathedral for the maronite rite
  2. St Andrew’s monastery in Karpaz for the orthodox rite

It is interesting to observe the interference between the Catholic and Orthodox rites as practiced by the Maronites. Few exemples: the use of icons and statues or the use of oblates during the eucharisty vs. distribution of leavened bread after the mass.

The mass of Sunday of Kormacit is broadcasted live, so that the Maronites in the South can follow it: https://www.youtube.com/@Kormakitis/streams
