"Barhalioun" My Ancient Village.
From Phoenician, Roman, Crusader and Turkish ruins to the memorial plaques left by serving Australian and French ADF, stationed in the 1900's, my ancestral village is no longer Ancient.
The story of occupation and foreign influence is not immune to one country!
Without those influences, we would not be who we are today, 'nor' would the positive contributions from those who passed before us, be recognised.
As to our Barhalioun ancestors, the legacy of today's sons and daughters, will also be etched in the foundations of those ancient stone terrace walls and for my immediate family, it's the "Maasra".
Today is all about ❤️🙏🇱🇧
