In this page, you see photos of saint Charbel Monastary, which is located
up in the Keserwan mountains east of the city of Byblos or Joubeil around
40 kilometers north of Beirut.

Saint Charbel was a Maronite Catholic saint who lived in the 19th and early
20th centuries. He lived a life of isolation as a monk in a very humble room
in the monastary, which is now named after him.

During his life, he performed many miracles of healing the sick and crippled,
the traces of which are on display in the monastary today. Also on display
are his personal belongings as well as his writings, which were all in the old
Syriac Aramaic language that Jesus Christ spoke.

Maybe the best miracle whose traces still remain to us today is his face image
that was mysteriously printed on a photograph taken by some priests who
visited the monastary years after his death.
