History: Martyrs of Jordan Church, Marj Al-Hamam

Construction of the Martyrs of Jordan Church began in 2006. Father Rifat Bader’s contemporary account records its first Mass in June 2016, following years of work. It succeeded a small worship space adapted from a kindergarten and received its dedication in memory of Jordan’s early Christian martyrs.

An interesting detail

Father Hanna Kildani described altar stained glass made in Lebanon, with window glass and bells supplied from Germany.
