| Our Lady of the Deliverance
Down the road from Saints Sarkis and Bacchus is the church of the Saadi family, Saydet al-Najjat, ("Our Lady of Deliverance"), built in 1877. Traditionally, men from the Saadi family were buried inside of the church, under the floor, with priests buried closest to the altar. Women were traditionally buried outside. This massive medieval construction, with solid walls supported by buttresses, was built on the site of an older church dating from Byzantine times.
