All Hotels near Qozhaya Monastery in Lebanon
The Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great (Mar Antonios al-Kabir) is situated at a height of 950 meters above sea level in the celebrated Valley of Qozhaya, " the Living Treasure ", in the Zghorta district of North Lebanon. According to the oral tradition, St. Anthony (251-356) called "the Great", founder of the monastic life, visited, during his life, his disciples and lived with them for a while in the cave of Qozhaya. For this reason, the cave - dedicated to St. Anthony - is considered miraculous for there have been many miracles witnessed in it.
In 1993, the Monastery was restored. In 1994 the great underground basement was restored and now serves as a museum in which are gathered what remains of the printing press of 1783 and various manuscripts, liturgical objects, ancient pottery, and a crozier offered by Louis IX, King of France (1226-1270). After about 1700 years, the Monastery continues to be a sign of faith and an expression of behavior.
