The Lebanese Tourism Ministry announced that Our Lady of Mantara "Saydet Maghdouche" , which is located in the southern town of Maghdouche, will become a global religious site and will be marked on the global touristic map.
The site is of great spiritual importance; the tower of “Our Lady of Mantara” was built in 1963, on top of the cave that is believed to be the resting place of Virgin Mary, while she awaited Jesus as he preached in Lebanon’s Sidon.
