Maranatha is a phrase derived from the ancient Aramaic language, commonly interpreted as a plea for the Lord to come. It is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 16:22 in the New Testament and reflects the early Christian expectation of Jesus Christ’s return. The term has been used throughout Christian history in prayers, worship, and theological writings as an expression of hope, faith, and anticipation of Christ’s second coming. In modern usage, Maranatha is also used as a name for churches, Christian ministries, schools, and religious organisations.
