The Antonins, known formally as the Antonin Maronite Order ( Latin: Ordo Antonianorum Maronitarum; abbreviated OAM), [1] is a monastic order of pontifical right for men in the Maronite Church, which from the beginning has been specifically a monastic Church. The order was founded on August 15, 1700, in the Monastery of Mar Chaaya, Lebanon by Maronite Patriarch Gabriel of Blaouza (1704-1705).
Its name comes from the Arabic Antouniyah ( Arabic: الرهبنة الانطونية). They are also called Mar Chaaya monks ( Arabic: رهبان مار شعيا), in reference to the monastery hosting the see of their superior general. It is one of the three Maronite congregations of monks alongside the Baladites and Aleppians.
