A large number of journalists from various media associations responded to the invitation of the President of the Union of Municipalities of the Bcharre District and the Mayor of Bekaa Kafra, Mr Elie Makhlouf, to return to the roots and visit the holy places, including the monasteries, the home of Saint Charbel in the town of Bekaa Kafra, and the ancient Church of Our Lady, with the participation of Father Milad Makhlouf and media colleagues, Antoinette Shalita, Maggie Makhlouf and Rima Rahme Makhlouf.
The visit began with a morning breakfast at the mayor’s residence, where there was distinguished hospitality, and then a walk through the town’s streets to the Church of Our Lady, which the municipality and the parish are seeking to restore. Rima Rahme Makhlouf gave a speech in which she welcomed the media professionals, thanking President Makhlouf for his invitation.
Father Milad Makhlouf presented the history of the church that was built over the ancient church, which dates back more than six hundred years, and called on media professionals to contribute to highlighting the importance of supporting the process of repairing the cracks occurring in the church through the media.
The tour was followed by a visit to Saint George Park in Bcharre, on the outskirts of the Holy Valley, and concluded with a visit to the eternal cedar forest and the Church of the Transfiguration in its center. Makhlouf then held a lunch at Cedar’s Heaven in honor of the media professionals.
