Charbel Makhlouf, born Youssef Antoun Makhlouf, was a Lebanese Maronite monk and priest who lived from 1828 to 1898 and was a member of the Baladite reform. During his life he gained a wide reputation for holiness and for his ability to unite Christians, Muslims and Druze. He is known among Lebanese Christians as the Miracle Monk of Lebanon because of favors received through his intercession, especially by those who pray at his tomb in the Monastery of Saint Maron in Annaya, Lebanon. He was beatified in 1965 and canonized in 1977 by Pope Paul VI; his feast is celebrated on 24 July by the Latin Church and on the third Sunday of July by the Maronite Church, and the Medal of Saint Charbel was created in his honor.
