In the depth of this remarkable icon, known as Our Lady of Elige, lays a long history of devotion to the holy Virgin, in Mount Lebanon.
The original icon that dates back to the 10th century, originated from an undetermined place in the Syriac world and found settled in the Patriarchal Church of Elige, Mayfouq area, in the district of Byblos. It depicts the virgin Mother holding the divine Child on her lap, a theme that is said to be a favorite to St. Ephrem…
In a while, this icon, that will come to be known as Our Lady of the Maronites, will be accompanying the Maronite Patriarchs from the year 1121 to the year of 1545. And after their departure to the Valley of Qannoubine, the icon remained there reserved in a box, but not preserved from many destructive factors, such as fire and distortion as bitter fruit of persecution.
Years later, after the monastery housing the ancient piece has become the property of the Lebanese Maronite Order, this latter took a decision of restoration. The cloistered nuns of the Carmel of the Mother of God and Unity – at Harissa, were asked to accomplish this delicate mission which lasted for five years. And the advanced work on it uncovered the fact that this icon is built up over five or six layers embedded throughout centuries. Thus the whole task marked an event in the history of Syrio-Maronite iconography.
