Melkite Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Homs[1] (in Latin: Archeparchy Hemesena Graecorum Melkitarum-Epiphaniensis-Iabrudensis) is a nominally Metropolitan Archeparchy (Eastern Catholic archdiocese) of the
Melkite Greek Catholic Church (
Byzantine Rite,
Arabic) in central
Syria. It was established on March 4, 1849 and has no
suffragan, but two merged-in eparchial titles.
Its archeparchial see is the city of
Homs, where is located the Cathedral of
Our Lady of Peace. In
Yabrud is located the
co-cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen.
The union ultimately came during the patriarchate of
Maximos III Mazloum and was contextually erected from eparchy of Homs to Metropolitan Archeparchy on March 4, 1849,[2] as the titles of the
Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Hama and Melkite Catholic Eparchy of Jabrud were formally united with the new Metropolitanate.
