Cedars of Lebanon Protected by Religion and Law
The cedars of Lebanon, about 400 ancient trees on a shelf like plateau 600 feet above the Mediterranean, are safeguarded by religious and legal protections from both Muslim and Maronite Christian communities. Revered long before Israel’s monarchs, some trees boast a 40 foot girth and 300 foot branch spread. Historical conquests saw Hebrew workers transport cedar to Jerusalem, but today the trees’ safety is ensured by law and religious protection.
