Saint
Antoine Qozhaïa
.....
....A
few paces away from the church is Saint Anthony’s Grotto, marking the
earliest beginning of Qozhaya. There victims of insanity used to spend the
night, attached with heavy chains, and in the morning were found to be cured.
One may also see there the first printing press of the whole Middle East and
Arab world, dating from the seventeenth century, one which supplied the Maronites
with liturgical books for more than two hundred years.
This monastery was founded by disciples of Saint Anthony the Great, the Father
of Monks, and it was here that monks began to take vows. The monastery has
harboured many holy hermits, even down to the present day. In the church there
is one altar dedicated to Saint Anthony and another dedicated to the Holy
Virgin. Now roads have been cut through and the monastery can be reached over
an asphalted route. It has become a centre of pilgrimage, prayer and tourism.....
