Man praying at the back of a Maronite church

            St Sabba’s church - Eddeh el Batroun
Built by the Crusaders during the twelve century and covered entirely by Byzantine frescoes (few remain today) and restored in 2012.
This church was mentioned by Patriarch Estephan Al Douaihy, in his book Tarikh Alazminah, when he wrote about syriac engravings on the frescoes that narrate a Maronite victory over the Mamluk sultan named Bybars, upon his assault on Tripoli in 1266. This information allowed Douaihy to date the frescoes, and explain the military structure of the church. This event is still visible in the frame of the Madona’s fresco dedicating the church to the great victory of the Maronites.
كنيسة مار سابا - اده البترون
بناها الصليبيّون في القرن الثاني عشر. كانت قديمًا مغطّاة بالكامل بجداريات بيزنطيّة لم يسلم منها سوى القليل. رمّمت سنة ٢٠١٢.
كنيسة مار سابا هذه، سبق للبطريرك إسطفان الدويهي أن أشار اليها عندما إستطاع ان يقرأ فيها مدوَّنةً سريانية تَصِف إنتصاراً احرَزَهُ الموارنة عندما ردّوا هجومًا شنَّه السلطان بيبرس على طرابلس في العام 1266، ممّا أتاح للدويهي ان يحدّد العهد الذي تعود اليه جدرانيات هذه الكنيسة ومما يفسر الهندسة الدفاعية والنشابيات.
ويتابع الدويهي قائلاً أن الموارنة شيَّدوا عندئذٍ عدَّة كنائس إحتفالاً بإنتصارهم هذا، ورسموا صوراً تخليداً له. وهناك مقطع لا يزال مرئياً في الاطار الذي يعلو صورة رقاد العذراء. ومن ذلك العهد العائد الى ما بعد العام 1266 يمكننا ان نرى صورةً للعذراء جالسةً وحاملةً طفلها. هذه القصة سردها الدويهي في كتاب تاريخ الازمنة.
