The shrine belongs to the Maronite Patriarchate who entrusted its administration to the Congregation of Maronite Lebanese Missionaries since its foundation in 1904. It is one of the most important shrines in the world honoring the Virgin Mary. The shrine is highlighted by a huge, 15-ton bronze statue of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of God. It is 8.5 m high, and has a diameter of five meters. The Virgin Mary stretches her hands towards Beirut. The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon draws millions of faithful both Christians and Muslims from all over the world. The 50th jubilee in 1954 was also the hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Immaculate Conception. During these Jubilee celebrations, Pope Pius XII sent his representative, Cardinal Angelo Roncalli to Lebanon, the later Pope John XXIII. Pope John Paul II visited Our Lady of Lebanon in 1997. The Congregation of Maronite Lebanese Missionaries, responsible for the administration, works at reinforcing relations among all local Churches, Christian communities and apostolic movements.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kartaba\/\">Paul Saad&#8217;s Photostream<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nThis <em>South Africa<\/em> image was automatically curated and published with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\">WP Robot<\/a> plugin &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to learn more about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\">WP Robot for WordPress<\/a> &#8211; a massive time and money saver.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCgzgeTm3pKPjkFy4WHrH8xA\">Visit the MyPE YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Lady Of Lebanon Church, Mulbarton Johannesburg Image by Paul Saad The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon (Arabic,\u0633\u064a\u062f\u0629 \u0644\u0628\u0646\u0627\u0646), also known as Notre Dame du Liban, is a marian shrine and a pilgrimage site, honoring the patron saint of the Mediterranean country of Lebanon.
