This sacred icon depicts Elyas Boutros Howayek, the 72nd Patriarch of the Maronite Church and a towering spiritual father of modern Lebanon. Declared Venerable by Pope Francis in 2019, Patriarch Howayek is honored for his heroic virtues, deep pastoral charity, and decisive role in safeguarding the Christian identity and sovereignty of Lebanon during one of its most turbulent eras
Rendered in a solemn, icon-inspired style, this portrait presents Patriarch Howayek with a radiant golden halo, symbolizing sanctity, wisdom, and faithful perseverance. His firm yet compassionate gaze reflects a life dedicated to prayer, service to the poor, defense of the persecuted, and unwavering leadership during famine, war, and political upheaval. Founder of the Congregation of the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family, he remains a model of pastoral courage, humility, and fatherly care for families and the Church
