Lebanon’s most beloved saint, Mar Charbel is celebrated on the third Sunday of July. On this occasion, over 10,000 candles were lit up in Mar Charbel’s town of Bkaakafra. I found few pictures shared by Lebanon Weather Forecast FB page:
Over 25,000 miracles are attributed to St Charbel since his death in 1898 according to Father Louis Matar, the Maronite priest who keeps a tally of such things. Hundreds of thousands of Christians and Muslims from all countries flock to Annaya asking for his blessing yearly.
