## Bio

Born Youssef Antoun Makhlouf on May 8, 1828, he joined the Baladites, a Maronite monastic order, and took the name Charbel. He lived most of his life in the Monastery of Saint Maron in Annaya, Lebanon, earning a reputation during his lifetime for holiness and for bridging Lebanon's fractured religious communities — Christians, Muslims, and Druze alike sought him out. He died on December 24, 1898. What followed turned a quiet hermit into "the Miracle Monk of Lebanon": pilgrims began reporting cures and favours at his tomb, and the claims multiplied for decades. Pope Paul VI beatified him in 1965 and canonized him in 1977, fixing his feast on July 24 in the Latin rite and the third Sunday of July in the Maronite. The Medal of Saint Charbel was struck in his honor, and his tomb remains a pilgrimage site where the faithful still pray for intercession.
