The Maronites have an abundance of liturgical books for their divine liturgy. The Maronite Synod at Deir al-Luweize (1736) committed a uniform preparation of all their books to the patriarch (Part II, Sess. I, xiii, etc.) These books are all referred to in Western or Latin terms (Missal, Ritual, Pontifical, etc.).
The Maronite missal was first printed between 1592 and 1594 in Rome, although with fewer anaphoras.

Maron, also called Maroun or Maro (Syriac: ܡܪܘܢ, Mārūn; Arabic: مَارُون; Latin: Maron; Ancient Greek: Μάρων), was a 4th-century Syriac Christian hermit monk in the Taurus Mountains whose followers, after his death, founded a religious Christian movement that became known as the Maronite Church, in full communion with the Holy See and the Catholic Church.

Among the Maronites, the three Sundays before Lent are devoted to the memory of the dead: the Sunday of deceased priests (Septuagesima), the Sunday of the Righteous and Righteous , the Sunday of the faithful departed (Quinquagesima).
