On the eve of World Autism Month, from the hilltop of Harissa, the statue of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa was majestically shining in blue in support of the international "Light It Up Blue" campaign to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day and Autism Awareness Month from March 31st until April 2nd.
Fantastic & Majestically shining in Blue by AAA to raise more #Autism#Awareness in #Lebanon, Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa went Blue with the presence of Miss Lebanon Valerie Abou Chacra and the famous great artist Ghassan Saliba and lots of friends.
The statue of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa on top of an old chapel, built at the end of the 19th Century and is the most visited site in Lebanon and is visible from several miles away.
We would like to deeply thank Father Younan Obeid for his cooperation and support at Our Lady of Lebanon Sanctuary in Harissa.
