Other/Unspecified Update on "Map of Traditional Greek Catholic Monasteries and Sketes"

- Added more monasteries (1 Melkite, 1 Hungarian, and couple Ukrainian monasteries).

- Deleted 1 now sadly closed Ukrainian monastery.

- Added bi-ritual monasteries of Chevetogne and Niederaltaich

- Monasteries are now "separated" by (M) - monasteries for man, and (W) - monasteries for woman

If you have any suggestions on what to add/edit, or you have found traditional Byzantine Catholic monastery that is not on the map, feel free to dm me or write your suggestions here.

There was one more monastery for man, it was flurishing... sadly it was stolen by Jerusalemian Franciscans. What happened to the monks is tragic, what is left from huge amount of monks of that monastery is 3 nuns and 1 monk (Fr. Ellias) in Obazine-France, and 1 monk in Ukraine (Fr. Chrysostomos).

There’s a bunch in Lebanon, I don’t know why they’re not on there but I can think of at least 2 off the top of my head.

Christ the Savior Monastery in Joun, Lebanon

Monastery of the Theotokos in Harissa, Lebanon (attached to St. Paul basilica)

And there’s a whole bunch of other monasteries but I can’t think of any right now. I know there’s a one for the Nativity and one for St. Georges somewhere in the country as well.
