Harissa, Lebanon

   The view from Harissa, Lebanon. Harissa is a town that is greatly known for its church dedicated to Mary. The church is also known for the large statue of Mary that they have, which can be seen in one of my later posts. This statue of Mary overlooks many small towns and cities of Lebanon. There are also stairs around the statue so visitors are able to climb up, and pray near it. Harissa attracts both religious pilgrims who want to pray near Mary, and tourists who want to enjoy the view.
** This was a very cloudy day. Usually, the view is much clearer.
