Colors from the Sweet Land of Lebanon — The Rock of Paul the Apostle

...On the Lebanese shore, a few kilometers from the Bay of Jounieh, there is a small village: the village of Tabarja.

Cars pass it morning and evening and pay it no heed...

And few people know that in this little bay, below the road, there once stood, in times gone by, the greatest shipyard for vessels.

And these small boats left on the shore are the granddaughters of those great ships that plied the sea at the hands of the boldest seamen on earth.

And from this beautiful shore, some historians say, Paul the Apostle put out to sea in a Phoenician boat for Ephesus or Rome. This is the rock from which the Apostle went down to the sea, carrying his faith to the world, a message of love and good.
