| Overview |
Eastern Orthodoxy in Saudi Arabia is a Christian minority consisting of people of various nationalities that are adherents of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The percentage of Saudi Arabian citizens who are Christians is officially zero. [1] The Saudi Arabian Mutaween (Arabic : مطوعين), or Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (i.e., the religious police) prohibits the practice of any religion other than Islam. [2] The Greek Orthodox have some numerical strength. [3] Major nationalities in Saudi Arabia include Egyptians, Syrians, Palestinians and Lebanese. [4]
In 2018, it was reported that the religious police had stopped enforcing the ban on Christian's religious services.
