Mar Estephan

Kfifane is famous for its Maronite monastery, the Monastery of Sts. Cyprian and Justina, and is an important pilgrimage site because it houses the tomb of Blessed Estephan Nehme, a venerated Maronite monk. Although the name “Mar Estephan” usually refers to Saint Stephen and several churches in Lebanon are named after him, the main religious site in Kfifane is not a church called “Mar Estephan,” but rather the monastery and shrine of Blessed Estephan Nehme.
