The Lady of Lebanon

After a quick lunch of manaeesh (zaatar, zaatar with vegetables, labneh and onions and tomatoes, we went all the way up to Harissa, where stands the Lady of Lebanon.

We first stopped at Saint Paul's basilica, a Melkite Catholic Church nearby the cathedral of Harissa.

Just have a look at this ceiling and the walls covered with Byzatine-style mosaic representing different scenes from the Bible! Who could say they’re not beautiful?





Then we went to see the Lady of Harrissa and enjoy the view over Beirut. We arrived around sunset and had some incredible light on the Lady.


Unfortunately it didn’t last as clouds came up bringing shadows. Still we managed to get a few decent shots of the city.
