Lebanese people

The Lebanese people of Denmark are people from Lebanon or those of Lebanese descent who live in the country of Denmark. The majority of Lebanese people came to Denmark in the period between 1970s and 1980s, either escaping the Lebanese Civil War or for economic reasons.

Most Lebanese in Denmark belong to various Christian denominations (Maronite, Greek Orthodox, Melkite Catholic, Protestant), but there is also a sizable number of Muslims (Sunni and Shi'a) and also some Druze.
