Description

The Virgin Mary in Lebanon – Volume III – District of Jibbet Bsharry – The Qadisha Valley

العذراء مريم في لبنان – قضاء جبة بشري – وادي قاديشا 

by: Anwar Saber

This is a mountainous district that was converted to Christianity by the disciples of St. Simon Stylites. Later, it began receiving Christian missions influenced by the life of St. Maroun and acquired the Maronite identity with Patriarch John (Youhanna) Maroun, which was reinforced with the transfer of the Maronite Patriarche from Eleej to Qannoubeen under the protection of its patron the Virgin Mary, whom Ibn Sirakh described as tall like the cedars of Lebanon. The Sacred Valley of Qannoubeen is considered the cradle of monastic life, for it is a natural reserve of holiness and sanctity.
