A relentless work-addict from a young age, Cynthia Sarkis Perros always had a strength in her to overcome the impediments on her way to success and achieve her most ambitious dreams. As a celebrities and fashion aficionado, she has evolved in the luxury sector and founded her company LUXURY LIMITED EDITION recognized in major prestigious events, upscale marketing and connection with international stars.
Armed with unwavering faith, she lived through many experiences that she reveals through her book, LA FORCE – THE STRENGTH, whose profits are dedicated to the development of the land of Saint Charbel in Beqaakafra, THE ROCK OF THE SAINT. This book is part of the “THE ULTIMATE GOAL LEBANON” a project which aims to help Lebanon on several fronts.
In Beqaakafra, atop one of Lebanon’s and the Middle East’s highest hills, facing the cedars of God cited several times in the Bible, and near the holy valley of Qannoubine, lays a rock like no other. At the foot of this rock, Saint Charbel, born on May 8, 1828 as Youssef Antoun Makhlouf, isolated himself there to pray to God and the Virgin Mary until the age of 23, lighting candles on an improvised altar. Suspended between heaven and earth, and imbued with Charbel’s sweat and the scent of his holiness, this spot bears the imprints of God… This specific rock became his first hermitage and his meditation place. What a delight for the soul to reach this rock in this heavenly place!
