Every year on the Feast of Corpus Christi, the people of Zahlé, Lebanon, mark a miraculous moment in their history. In 1825, as the bubonic plague swept across the region, the town was spared after the bishop urged residents to hold a procession and offer prayers before the Eucharist. For two centuries, this powerful act of faith has been honored. EWTN reporter Marguerite Kallassy shares the story of this enduring devotion.
