Christians in Syria made up about 10% of the pre-war Syrian population.[1][2] The country's largest Christian denomination is the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch,[3][4] closely followed by the Maronite Church and the Assyrian Church of the East;[4] the cities of Damascus and Aleppo are believed to have the largest number of Christians in Syria. There is a small minority of Protestants in the country.[5]
