he Christian East embraces 2000 years of history, and here we have a much longer history, since Lebanon and Syria are the Biblical lands. It was in Sarepta (or Zarephath)—modern Sarafand—between Tyre and Sidon (also known as Sour and Saida), that the Holy Prophet Elijah (Elias) raised the widow’s son to life; and it was in the region of Tyre and Sidon that our Lord Jesus Christ travelled and healed the daughter of a Canaanite (Syrophoenician) woman, according to the Gospels.
