History<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The Melkite Church originated in Jerusalem and Antioch, where the followers of Jesus were first called Christians. It is one of the largest Christian Churches in the Holy Land. Melkites first settled in the United States over a century ago, but the recent situation in the Middle East has compelled even greater immigration. St. George Melkite Greek-Catholic Church is the oldest community in Sacramento that is linked to the native Christians of the Holy Land.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
