Chucrallah-Nabil El-Hage

Chucrallah-Nabil El-Hage[1][2] (in Arabic: شكرالله نبيل الحاج), also transliterated Shukrallah Nabil El Hajj, (born on 26 February 1943 in Hajjeh, Lebanon) was the Archeparch of the Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre from 2003[3] until his retirement in 2020.

[4] El-Hage was born in Hajjé, a village in the district of Sidon (Saida), which is part of the South Governorate in Southern Lebanon.

After the confirmation by the Holy See on September 25, 2003 El-Hage was ordained by Maronite Patriarch of Antioch, Cardinal Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, and his co-consecrators were Roland Aboujaoudé, Auxiliary bishop of Antioch and Maroun Khoury Sader, Emeritus Archeparch of Tyre on 29 November 2003.

[9] On the Special Assembly of the Synod for the Middle East, the Archbishop took the view[10] that the Christians should not lead lonely battle, but in solidarity should live with all citizens.

On 1 November 2020, the Synod of Bishops of the Patriarchal Church of Antioch of the Maronites announced that it accepted Hajj's age-related resignation and elected his Protosyncellus Charbel Abdallah, who hails from Hajjeh as well, as his successor.
