Also in other networks

Here we explore the traditions, struggles and spiritual lives of Eastern Christians through stories, archival footage and on-the-ground coverage,” says @easternchristians on Youtube. “Our mission is to preserve the voices that have endured for centuries, share their message with the world, and empower Christians by strengthening their identity and presence.”.
Pope's visit to the tomb of St. Charbel
On the Instagram profile of @eastern_christians, it is possible to see the Pope's emotional visit and prayer at the Saint Charbel's tomb, Lebanese saint famous for performing thousands of miracles since his death in 1898. Devotion to his figure is widespread in his native country, which finds in this saint a very valuable intercessor in the face of various crises.
It was on the second day of his visit to Lebanon. Pope Leo XIV began the day with a visit to the grotto of St. Chárbel Maklūf at the monastery of St. Maroun in Annaya. The Lebanese people took to the streets to cheer the Holy Father.
As Eastern Christians have also spread to so many countries, it is possible to see their devotion to St. Charbel, for example, also in Australia.
Thousands of devotees in Australia
The @easternchristians Youtube account captures in 3’ 18” a historic moment of a gathering of Christians devoted to St. Charbel in Sydney (Australia) at the end of January. The historic occasion was the installation of the world's largest monumental bronze sculpture dedicated to St. Charbel in the monastery dedicated to the saint.
Led by the Maronite bishop and the monks of the monastery, a solemn Eucharistic procession went through the streets. More than 150 bearers carried the bronze face of the saint, surrounded by thousands of faithful who formed a chalice-shaped procession, marking not only the arrival of a sculpture, but also a public declaration of faith.
This historic night of January 24, the Eastern Christians explain, coincided with the 33rd anniversary of the miracle of Nohad Chami and is part of the spiritual preparation for an important worldwide milestone: the 50th anniversary of the canonization of St. Charbel Makhlouf next year. A saint who was canonized on October 9, 1977, by St. Paul VI in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.
