Lebanon (i/ˈlɛbənɒn/ or /ˈlɛbənən/; Arabic: لبنان Libnān or Lubnān; Lebanese Arabic: [lɪbˈneːn]; Aramaic: לבנאן; French: Liban), officially the Lebanese Republic (Arabic: الجمهورية اللبنانية al-Jumhūrīyah al-Lubnānīyah; Lebanese Arabic: [elˈʒʊmhuːɾɪjje l.ˈlɪbneːnɪjje]; French: République libanaise), is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east and Israel to the south. Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland facilitated its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity.
The earliest evidence of civilization in Lebanon dates back more than seven thousand years, predating recorded history. Lebanon was the home of the Canaanites/Phoenicians and their kingdom, a maritime culture that flourished for over a thousand years (c. 1550–539 BC). In 64 BC, the region came under the rule of the Roman Empire, and eventually became one of the Empire's leading centers of Christianity. In the Mount Lebanon range a monastic tradition known as the Maronite Church was established. As the Arab Muslims conquered the region, the Maronites held onto their religion and identity. However, a new religious group, the Druze, established themselves in Mount Lebanon as well, generating a religious divide that has lasted for centuries. During the Crusades, the Maronites re-established contact with the Roman Catholic Church and asserted their communion with Rome. The ties they established with the Latins have influenced the region into the modern era.
Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people, and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family.

T/I: 10:09:42 Lebanon's growing reputation as the gateway to the Middle East has prompted a spate of western investment in the area. One of the latest commercial ventures to open in Beirut is the restauraunt chain Henry J Beans. The themed restaurant with a distinctly American feel has been opened by a group of Lebanese men. English staff have been flown in to train the local staff but the restaurant will be managed by an American. The new manager says "Beirut is the place to be in right now. It has endless opportunities and having suffered 17 years of civil war, the people are now willing to go out and do what they want". Mark, an english representative of the group "My Kind of Town" which owns the restaurant chain, admitted to a degree of apprehension before visiting Be...

Margaret Pandian, Founder, Lebanon Ministries, heard the thunderous voice of the Lord God telling her "I am the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt".

She is anointed with all the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Right now she pastors a congregation at Mettu Irungalur - a village 25 Kms away from Trichy. She carries on the burden for Christ despite the tragic loss of her younger daughter Sharmila Joan in 2008. She is blessed with a loving and caring husband, A.P.K.

Sunday the 21st of December!
(6 Dec 2016) LEAD IN: The Lebanese capital has been spruced-up and lit for Christmas, with decorations going up around Beirut over the weekend. STORY-LINE: It's the start of the festive season and across central Beirut people have been busy erecting, adorning and lighting trees and decorations. A tall Christmas tree in one of the major shopping centres attracted a crowd. Families gather around the tree and children have a chance to have their photographs taken with Santa Claus. Lebanon has been enjoying a period of relative calm following a stretch turmoil due to the war in neighbouring Syria. A new head of state was elected in October following a more than a two-year vacuum in the country's top post. You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/m...

Commissioned by the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism, We spent 5 summer months filming Lebanon from Above, including its rural, urban, cultural touristic and historical location, as well as the amazing number of festivals. The idea was to show Lebanon's beauty, diversity and wealth from another angle (above), in order to encourage and promote international and domestic tourism. My main personal goal is to remind us all that Lebanon is not all about problems, political turmoil, trash...etc but is first and foremost a country that has so much to offer on such a small portion of land, and is still, in spite of everything, truly beautiful. Maybe by seeing this video, people who lost sight of what Lebanon truly is, will have newfound optimism and strength to participate in steering the country i...

Beirut City, Beirut City Photos, Beirut Photos, Beirut Pictures, Beirut Images, Beirut, Lebanon, Beirut City Guide Beirut is the capital and largest city of Lebanon.

Tomorrow We Will See offers a window into how ten artists in Lebanon are using art as a tool to question sectarian divisions while encouraging freedom of thought. Against the backdrop of Lebanon’s scars from wars, and socio-political scars created from sectarian divisions, Lebanese artists continue to contribute to the creative community despite the uncertainties of what tomorrow may bring. A rock band's thought-provoking lyrics, a poet's description of time shrinking, an architect's experimental manipulation of space, a novelist's language of the female body, and a painter's reflections on his choice of colors, reveal the process by which the featured artists transform ideas, sketches, spaces into vibrant and dynamic works of art while describing what the expression ‘Bukra Minshouf’ (‘...

Western media rely heavily on reports gathered by the two most influential Arab media organizations that indirectly play an import role in the turbulent events stirring up the Arab world. Focusing on two chief correspondents of Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, we not only learn more about the often difficult conditions they have to work in, but also about their methods and journalistic views regarding the Arab revolution. Most importantly we investigate how far (or in what way?) the news channels they work for are subjected to the foreign and internal policy of the countries that finance them. What is the role of Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya news broadcasters in recent revolutions in the Arab world? And how independent is their coverage actually, given their funders?
