EDITORS COMMENTS
Griffon Preaching to the Maronites of Mount Lebanon: A Miraculous Event in the 1450s This evocative image captures the moment of spiritual enlightenment as Griffon, a revered preacher, delivers a sermon to the devoted Maronite community nestled in the rugged terrain of Mount Lebanon. The year is approximately 1450, and the scene unfolds within the humble confines of a Roman Catholic church, its ancient stone walls echoing the rich history of this Arab region. The sun, a symbol of divine presence, plays a pivotal role in this historical tableau. Normally, the sun's rays would stream in through the western window, casting long shadows and illuminating the nave from that direction. However, in this extraordinary instance, an inexplicable miracle occurs: the sun shifts its position, casting its golden beams from the east, bathing the church interior in a warm, ethereal glow. The paranormal occurrence adds an otherworldly dimension to the scene, as the faithful gather around Griffon's pulpit, their eyes transfixed on the preacher and the celestial light. The miracle not only underscores the profound connection between the Maronites and their faith but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of religion in shaping the lives of the people of Mount Lebanon during this period. As Griffon continues his sermon, the sun's rays continue to shine, casting an aura of sanctity and reverence over the scene. The image invites us to contemplate the deep spiritual connection between the people and their faith, as well as the awe-inspiring power of the divine. This powerful and evocative image, captured in the 1450s, remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Catholicism and the miraculous events that continue to shape the history of the Arab world.
