Thousands of people have flocked to the Maronite Patriarchal headquarters in Bkerke for the beatification of the 17th century Maronite Patriarch, Estephan Douaihy. Among them, numerous Lebanese Australians. They had travelled specifically for the occasion, despite official Australian travel warnings because of the volatile conflict in the south, writes Deacon Ghassan Nakhoul.
