Chapel Saint Charbel

Slovakia 2023

In the vicinity of the bishop's town of Nitra, a chapel is to be built in honor of St. Charbel Markhlouf.

The shape of the chapel derives from the only portrait of Saint Charbel, in which he can be seen with a “cappa”. This form of the “cappa” resembles a section of a parable, symbolizing the overcoming of gravity and the detachment from the earth. As in literature, the derivation of the parable is intended to make the visitor think and come to a conclusion.
