Discover with us Kadisha valley. Kadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic. This holy Valley located at the foot of Mount al-Makmal in northern Lebanon was carved by the Qadisha river. The many natural caves have been used as shelters and for burials back as far as the Paleolithic period. The Aassi Hauqqa cave has yielded archaeological items indicating Palaeolithic, Roman, and medieval periods of use. The valley had monastic communities continuously since the earliest years of Christianity. It was also at times a destination for Muslim mystics, or Sufis, who also visited it for meditation and solitude. The Mameluk sultans Baibars and Qalaoun led campaigns in 1268 and 1283, respectively, against the fortress-caves, monasteries, and the surrounding villages. Despite these attacks, the Deir Qannubin monastery became the seat of the Maronite patriarch in the 15th century and to remain so for 500 years. In the 17th century, the Maronite monks’ reputation for piety was such that many European poets, historians, geographers, politicians, and clergy visited and even settled in the Valley. The first printing press in the middle east was built in 1610 at the monastery of Qozhaya. It used Syriac characters. Also it was the first to print in Arabic language. Eight well preserved natural mummies of maronite villagers dating back to around 1283 A.D. were uncovered between 1989 & 1991. These were found in the 'Asi-al Hadath cave along with a wealth of artifacts.In 1998, UNESCO added the valley to the list of world heritage sites because of its importance as the site of some of the earliest Christian settlement in the world.The valley is home to many monasteries: Qannoubine, Saint Antonios Qozhaya, Our lady of Hawqa, St.Licha, St.Sarkis and many more. @escape_intothewild 📷 #escape_intothewild #wadiqannoubine #wadikadisha #kadishavalley #qannoubine #kadisha #Lebanon #beirut #hiking #hikinglebanon #hikingtrail #hikingadventures #hikingevent #adventureseeker #adventure_time #adventure #lebanon_hdr #lebanonhiking #lebanonmountains #lebanonactivities #lebanonhikingtrail #photography #landscapephotography #bluesky #blueplanet #mountains #nature #naturephotography #trees #forest (at Kadisha Valley / وادي قاديشا) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qRijxJ2In/?igshid=15b8xn1ndftw8
