كنيسة مار جرجس

St. George’s Church in Rmeish is believed to have been built around 1740 on a 72 m² plot, along the line connecting the western and eastern springs. It was consecrated in February 1751 by Bishop Antoine Mohaseb Al-Ghastawi.. The original church had a wooden roof supported by four rows of arches and remained unchanged until the 1837 earthquake. In 1925, the people of Rmeish, encouraged by Bishop Shukrallah Khoury of Tyre, expanded it by demolishing the old structure (except the north wall), adding windows and two main entrances. The reconstruction was completed in 1929, and its marble altar was finished in 1996. Recognized as a historic church, its stone walls were restored thanks to Hanna Boulos Al-Amil from the Directorate General of Antiquities, who secured 29 million LBP (≈19,000 USD) for the project. Architect Assaf Khairallah Assaf supervised the restoration with the help of Father Najib Shukrallah Al-Amil. The church was reconsecrated by Bishop Maroun Sader on February 25, 1996. In addition, most baptisms in Rmeich were historically held in this main church, and most weddings in Rmeich are also celebrated in this church.
