Saint Maroun Church in Jezzine is dedicated to Maron, the fifth-century hermit from whom the Maronite Church takes its name. Jezzine, set among pine forests and waterfalls in southern Lebanon, has long been a Christian mountain town, and this church is part of that identity along with Saydet el Maabour. The building serves the parish and marks feast days that bring the town together. Visitors passing the waterfall and the old souk of Jezzine can include the church as a quiet stop, dressing modestly and avoiding disruption during liturgy. It is a useful point for anyone mapping Maronite churches from the Chouf down toward the south.
