Christian communities—including Greek Orthodox, Armenians, and others—have maintained a continuous presence in Palestine since the Roman and Byzantine eras.

Their traditions, rituals, and institutions form an integral part of Palestine’s diverse cultural landscape. Read about Christian history in Palestine at BBC.
