Guide to Our Lady of Mreijat Church

The Church of Our Lady of Mraijat, Saydet al Mreijat, in Kfar Niss is a Marian parish church in the Chouf. The title is local and precise, which helps it stand apart from the many Saydet churches of Deir el Qamar and the coast. It serves village liturgy and feast days among terraces and pine. Visitors are welcome when they dress modestly and stay quiet during services. Combine the stop with a drive toward Barja, the coast or the palace road. There is no large heritage display; the church itself and its dedication are the point of the listing.
