During this year’s event, the Family of Saint Sharbel also hosted a silent auction of icons and played a video that captures the places where St. Sharbel spent his time on earth, including BekaaKafra (Sharbel’s birth village), the Monastery of Mayfouk, the Monastery of St. Maron in Annaya, the hermitage of saints Peter & Paul in Annaya, and more. The hymns in the background of the video are taken from the Maronite Ramsho (evening prayer) to Saint Sharbel in English, and both the music and the video were produced by the Family of Saint Sharbel.
