The Statue of Our Lady of Lebanon is a French-made, 13-ton statue, made of bronze and painted white,[2] of the Virgin Mary. It was erected in 1907 on top of a hill, 650 meters above sea level, in the village of Harissa, 20 km north of Beirut in honor of Our Lady of Lebanon. The land was donated by Yousef Khazen.[3] It was made up of seven sections that were assembled on top of the stone base, which had a bottom perimeter of 64m, an upper perimeter of 12m and with an overall height of 20m. The height of the statue is 8.50m while its perimeter is 5.50m. The statue and the shrine were inaugurated in 1908, and it has become a major pilgrimage destination. ...................................... #germanvision #meinwiesbaden #calvinize #bestgermanypics #landscape_captures #landscapelover #lifeofgermany #architecture #tree_magic #tree_captures #igwiesbaden #lebanon #nature_brilliance #beirut #fingerprintofgod #fiftyshades_of_nature #the_gallery_of_magic #lifeofeuropepic #bpa_nature_ #quest_4_magic #global_creatives #moodmagic #ig_lebanon #moody_captures #splendid_woodlands #europe_gallery #travellingthroughtheworld #awesome_photographers #architecturephotography
