Rite is prayer ritual, as in the rite of Baptism, or the Rite of the Washing of the Feet on Holy Thursday of Mysteries. Maronite Catholics are classified under the Antiochene (West) Syriac Tradition of the Catholic Communion of Churches, along with Syriac Catholics and the Syro-Malankar Catholics of India. All of these three Syriac Churches also use elements from the East Syriac Church Tradition.
