The Syriac Orthodox Archdiocese of Syria was nominally Metropolitan Archeparchy of the Syriac Orthodox Church with juriction over Syria and Lebanon from 1817 until 1933.
History
[edit | edit source]Many dioceses that existed at the beginning of the XIX century were eliminated or combined[1] as a result of conversion to Catholicism, particularly in Syria. Ended up with being a single diocese, having lost its communities in Aleppo, Damascus and in many towns and monasteries to the Syriac Catholic Church.
A new bishop was appointed in 1926 for the Diocese of Aleppo.
In 1933, during the synod of Homs, new dioceses were created for Syria.
