– Hardine is the hometown of one of Lebanon’s four saints, Saint Nimatullah Hardini (1808-58) who was canonised by Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II in 2004.

دير مار أليشاع القديم - بشرّي
يقع الدير في وادي قنّوبين على السفح أسفل مدينة بشرّي. أولى الإشارات لوجوده تعود لسنة ١٣١٥، حين كان الدير مقرًّا لأساقفة بشرّي. سنة ١٦٤٣، قطنه الرهبان الكرمليّون وهم أوّل إرساليّة أجنبيّة خدمت الموارنة. سنة ١٦٤٤، توفّي فيه برائحة القداسة، الناسك الفرنسيّ فرانسوا دي شاستوي. سنة ١٦٩٥، تسلّمت الرهبانيّة الحلبيّة اللبنانيّة الناشئة الدير من اهالي بشرّي، فأعاد الرهبان بناءه، وأقاموا فيه مدرسةً، وجلبوا من حلب أيقونة مار أليشاع. في ١٠ تشرين الثاني ١٦٩٨ إنعقد فيه أوّل مجمع للرهبانيّة، وفيه وُضع القانون الرهبانيّ الذي ثبّته فيما بعد البابا أقليمنضوس الثاني عشر وأهدى بدوره الدّير بيت قربانٍ وذخيرة مار مارون. أصبح الدّير محبسةً بعد بناء الدّير الجديد سنة ١٨٧٤، وكان آخر حبسائه الأب أنطونيوس طربيه (+١٩٩٨). وهو اليوم محجّ ومقصد للعزلة والصلاة.
The old monastery of Prophet Elishah - Bcharre
The monastery is situated in the holy valley of Qannoubin, on a cliff underneath the city of Bcharre. The oldest signs of it’s existence date back to 1315 when it was the seat of Bcharre’s bishops. In 1643 it was the headquarters of the Carmelites, the first western missionaries to the Maronites. In 1644 the saintly hermit Francois de Chasteuil died and was buried in the monastic church. The newly founded Lebanese Aleppan Maronite took the monastery as it’s headquarter in 1695 and bought the icon of Prophet Elishah from Aleppo. On the 10th of November 1698 the first monastic council was held and the new monastic rules where promulgated. They where later acknowledged by Pope Clement XII who gave the monastery a tabernacle and a relic of St Maroun. The monastery was used as a hermitage after the construction of the new monastery in 1874. The last of the hermits was Father Antonios Torbey (+1998). The monastery is now a shrine for pilgrims who seek solitude.
