Have you ever wondered why Notre-Dame-du-Liban in Paris seems to whisper stories as you approach it? It is a beautiful and intriguing cathedral. Located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, Notre-Dame-du-Liban is the mother church of the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Paris, part of the Maronite Church. This church showcases the beautiful Eastern Catholic tradition. Built in 1893-1894 by Jules-Godefroy Astruc, a renowned architect, this architectural wonder was originally designed for the Jesuit Fathers of the Sainte-Geneviève school. It housed the school for a while. But after the French law of Separation of the Churches and the State in 1905, the Jesuits left, and the Notre-Dame-du-Liban was assigned to the Maronite worship in 1915. The Maronite community, known for their faith, has been committed to preserving the church since then. The church contains a beautiful collection of stained-glass windows, crafted by Christiane and Philippe Andrieux. These windows portray saints and holy figures from the Maronite Church, like Charbel and Rafqa. These works of art add depth and beauty to the cathedral, highlighting its cultural and religious significance. This breathtaking structure stands as a reminder of the rich heritage of Lebanon’s culture.
