["Wheelings Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church has been hosting its annual Mahrajan Festival at Oglebay Park for over 85 years. The festival began in 1933 as a fundraiser to rebuild the church, which had been lost to fire the year prior. Activities at the Mahrajan festival include a vast spread of Lebanese food--including kibbee, tabbouli, stuffed grape leaves, hummus, saj bread, and various Lebanese cookies and desserts, a sale of handcrafted Lebanese items, live music, Lebanese dancing, and a liturgy.To learn more about Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church, visit their website: http://www.ololwv.com/Also see interviews with church elders Carol Dougherty and Nick Ghaphery in the West Virginia Folklife Collection.
