Saint Charbel Makhlouf

Saint Charbel Makhlouf, O.L.M.[1] (1828–1898) was a Maronite monk and priest from Lebanon. During his life he obtained a wide reputation for holiness and he has been canonized by the Catholic Church.

He is known as the Miracle Monk of Lebanon.

His tomb is located at the Monastery of Saint Maron.[2]
