Saint Nohra

  Statue of Saint Nohra next to our church. Our church is dedicated to Saint Nohra. Also, Saint Nohra or Mar Nohra in Aramaic means Master of Light.  Saint Nohra is a Lebanese Saint that was a Christian missionary of the early centuries. He preached along the Mediterranean coast.
The king at the time was persecuting all Christians, but Saint Nohra was convincing people to stay faithful. When he reached Smar Jbeil, the king found him, executed him, and threw him in well that is today dedicated to him. The holy water from the well has also made many miracles.
