Pope Leo visits Annaya monastery, meets religious leaders and young people in Lebanon

BEIRUT: On the second day of his three-day visit to Lebanon, Pope Leo XIV prayed “for peace in this country and the countries of the Middle East.” His itinerary on Monday included a visit to the Monastery of St. Maron in Annaya, Mount Lebanon, marking a historic moment as he became the first pope to visit the shrine of Saint Charbel, revered patron saint of the Maronite community. Many Christians and Muslims visit the holy site seeking intercessions or the healing of incurable diseases.
