Guide to Saint Georges Church

Deir El Qamar - Church
Saint Georges Church in Deir el Qamar is dedicated to Saint George, the rider-saint whose feast is celebrated in towns and villages all over Lebanon. In the old Chouf capital the church adds a George dedication to a skyline already rich in Marian churches and the Fakhreddine Mosque. Stone construction, a local parish and a short walk from the serails make it part of the standard historic circuit rather than an out-of-town sanctuary. Travellers comparing Saint George churches from Beirut to Ehden can log this one as the Chouf example. Visit outside liturgy if you are only looking at architecture, and with reverence if you arrive during a service.
