Listing of Traditional Masses Which Have Been Approved
under Papal Authority.
-- STATE OF ISRAEL
--
Jerusalem is the true home of the Christian faith. De facto,
the entire city lies within the boundaries of the de facto
sovereign State of Israel. The great majority of the local Palestinian population is
Muslim but there are also large numbers of Christians among them. There are no indult
masses in Israel but there are a great number of Eastern Rite jurisdictions. These have
been listed alphabetically first by Rite and then by Use.
Until more information becomes available to the site moderator, there will be no
listing of Eastern Catholic masses in Israel. Following is a list of Eastern Catholic
jurisdictions. There are every-Sunday traditional masses in each of them.
