Since the region was affected by the massacres of different minorities at the hands of extremist groups, Baz decided to venture off on a journey to uncover the current situation of the community he grew up knowing.

Whilst using a humanistic approach free of judgment, Baz met with, believers, priests, nuns, and parishioners. He slept in monasteries and attended masses, baptisms, and funerals. He also wandered off in highly religious neighborhoods where crucifixes hung from electric power lines were the norm.

By visually documenting the lives, sacraments, and ritualistic implementations of Lebanon’s Christianity, over a period of two years, Baz’s publication Christians of Lebanon: Rites and Rituals is a genuine representation of the faith of an entire community far from dissension and any political affiliation.
