The Church of Saint Georges in Saraaine was destroyed during the war in 1976. Under the auspices of Bishop Al-Hashem, the Bishop of Baalbeck, and the patronage of Ms. Manell P. Brice, a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Maronite Studies, the rebuilding of the church began in 1999. There are five churches in Saraaine El Tahta: Saint Elias (Maronite Church), Saint Challita (Maronite Church), Saint Georges (Maronite Church), Saint Elias (Catholic Orthodox Church) and The Shrine of Our Lady of Birth.^{[citation needed]}
