Saint Moura Church and Monastery

كنيسة ودير مارت مورا

شيّد عام ١٣٣٩ وكان صومعة للحبساء. تحوّل الى دير للرهبان ثمّ الى كرسي مطرانية اهدن.

تأسست فيه الرهبانيات اللبنانية المارونية على يد الطوباويّ البطريرك اسطفان الدويهيّ الاهدنيّ.

هُجر وخرب ورُمم أكثر من مرة ولم يبقى منه البوم سوى قبوين متلاصقين معقودين بالحجارة.

Saint Moura Church and Monastery

It was built in 1339 and initially served as a hermitage for recluses. It later became a monastery for monks and then the seat of the Ehden bishopric. The Maronite Lebanese orders were founded there by Blessed Patriarch Estephan Douaihy. The site was abandoned, fell into ruin, and was restored several times, but today, only two adjoining stone-vaulted cellars remain.
