Lebanon constructs Bekaa's largest religious monument
The article focused on Lebanon's construction of the largest religious landmark in the Bekaa, which is a giant rosary known to be one of the largest in the world. It is situated on the hills of Deir El Ahmar in the Beqaa Valley. The project aims to serve as an international pilgrimage site and a place for reflection and dialogue among different religious communities. Spanning 600 meters, it features 59 large beads that function as prayer areas and confession spots for saints, enhanced with a distinctive lighting system at night. The work on this project began in 2008, with a budget exceeding $13 million funded by donations. Its goal is to promote religious tourism and coexistence among faiths, with expectations that it will become one of the region’s most prominent attractions, fostering peace and interfaith dialogue in Lebanon.
