[edit] Saint Maroun's Crosier

How come Saint Maroun has a Crosier in the picture? It's something that only abbots and bishops get to use, and it doesn't seem as if he was either. He's called the first Patriarch of the Maronites, but that seems purely honourary since it doesn't look like he got consecrated to the Episcopate. Also, he isn't using a Mitre. J.J. Bustamante 04:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

If he founded a monastic order, that seems to at least strongly imply that he was the abbot of the order, at least at the beginning. At least I've never heard of a spiritual founder of a monastic order not being the first abbot. There's a page on John Maron who is the 1st patriarch but he came some time later.

He's carrying a crosier for the same reason he's wearing a baroque stole- The picture was drawn much later after centuries of latinization. SaintCyprian ^Talk 15:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
