Greater Lebanon founder honored across communities
The article covered the event of the canonization of the founder of Greater Lebanon, Patriarch Elias Hoyek, on the anniversary of his martyrdom. The ceremony took place at the patriarchal edifice in Deir El Dour, with broad official and popular attendance, though some groups were absent. The event served as a national, Vatican, and church occasion reflecting Lebanon's national and historical unity. The sermon emphasized that Hoyek was a man of vision and patriotism, defending Lebanon's right to independence and dignity. His role in strengthening national identity was highlighted through his participation in the 1919 Peace Conferences, which contributed to the birth of modern Lebanon. The event was characterized by the absence of direct politics, focusing instead on national and spiritual symbolism, and is part of celebrations that reflect pride in Lebanon’s history and reaffirm its national unity.
