Category: St. Charbel

St. Charbel was known for his profound devotion to the Holy Eucharist, his radical poverty, and his extraordinary union with God. He died on Christmas Eve, 1898, and was buried at the Annaya monastery. Almost immediately after his death, miraculous phenomena were reported at his tomb, and his body was found to be incorrupt — a sign that deeply moved the faithful and drew pilgrims from across the world.

St. Charbel was beatified by Pope Paul VI on December 5, 1965, and canonized by the same pontiff on October 9, 1977. Since his canonization, countless miracles of healing have been attributed to his intercession, making him one of the most beloved and widely venerated saints in the Catholic Church today. His feast day is celebrated on July 24.
