Feast 24 July

The hermit of Annaya. Incorrupt. Oil on the grave.

Sacred art

Statues and images

No photograph of St. Charbel Makhlouf is shown. The honour goes to the person, and through the person to God. It is not a substitute for the life written below.

The whole treasury

Lebanese Maronite. Died 1898. Buried, found incorrupt, still a place of pilgrimage. The quiet of the hermitage is the argument.

St. Charbel Makhlouf

Annaya, Mount LebanonDied 1898; phenomena ongoing

A Maronite hermit, silent in life, whose tomb ran with a blood-like moisture for decades, whose body was found intact, and whose intercession is tied to a stream of reported healings that made him a saint of both East and West.
