St. Charbel Makhlouf (1828–1898) was a Maronite monk and priest from Lebanon known for his holiness, his devotion to the Eucharist, and the many miracles attributed to his intercession. He was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 1977.
Born Youssef Antoun Makhlouf in the village of Bekaa Kafra in northern Lebanon, he entered the Lebanese Maronite Order and took the name Charbel in honour of a second-century martyr. He lived as a hermit for the last 23 years of his life at the Hermitage of Saints Peter and Paul near the Monastery of St. Maron in Annaya.
His feast day is celebrated on the third Sunday of July. St. Charbel is venerated worldwide for his miraculous intercessions, and pilgrims continue to visit his tomb at the Monastery of St. Maron in Annaya, Lebanon.
