  • Our Lady of Lebanon, also known as "Saydet Libnan" or Notre Dame du Liban, is the patron saint of the Mediterranean country of Lebanon.

The Lebanese Christians as well as the Druze and Shia & Sunni Muslims have a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Maronite Patriarch of Antioch named her the "Queen of Lebanon" in 1908 upon completion of the shrine. Overlooking the bay of Jounieh, the shrine has become a major tourist attraction where tourists take the gondola lift, the Téléférique, from the city of Jounieh to Harissa.
