The Story of العذراء حريصة =)
Hello,
Today I was bored I take out some old albums and started viewing the photos. I found Lebanon album , what a memories !
One of the most beautiful places I’ve been there is a church called العذراء حريصة .
It is located in “Junia” on the top of a mountain. You have to use telpherage to go up there. I have gone there twice its really amazing specially when u go up in the telpherage and look down to see the sea and green hills view under you.
The story of this church as I heared is that Lebanon was facing a danger and people started praying and worship to مريم العذراء and asking her to protect them from this danger. When the danger was over they built this caryatid for her on the top of the mountain and make it a place to worship and called her حريصة because she protected Junia.
Really worth visiting =)
