ANNAYA:Charbel Matar says a Lebanese saint saved his life when he was a child. Now, he is among pilgrims of all faiths who visit Saint Charbel’s tomb, soon to be graced by Pope Leo XIV. “My family and I have great faith in Saint Charbel and always visit him,” said Matar, 69, at the Saint Maron Monastery in Annaya in the mountains of north Lebanon. “I almost died when I was five. He performed a miracle and saved me from death, and kept me alive for 64 more years,” said Matar, whose parents changed his name from Roger to Charbel to honor the saint.
