It was originally settled in 400 A.D., and is situated on a hill at an altitude of 1500 meters, overlooking the [Kadisha valley](/source/Kadisha_valley). Hadath el Jebbeh is a summer resort and touristic place, benefiting from its welcoming and friendly local families. The inhabitants of the village are mostly [Maronites](/source/Maronite_Christianity_in_Lebanon), with the presence of two churches in town, the historical St. Daniel church which was built around 1110 CE, and Notre-Dame church built in 1956. At the end of summer, Hadath el Jebbeh celebrates St. Daniel Festival, which takes place every second Sunday of September of each year. ==Location, climate and nature== Hadath el Jebbeh is located in [Bsharri District](/source/Bsharri_District), overlooking Qannoubine Valley. The village is 94 km away from Lebanese Capital, [Beirut](/source/Beirut), and 36 km away from [Tripoli](/source/Tripoli%2C_Lebanon), the largest city in [North Lebanon](/source/North_Governorate). Hadath el Jebbeh is well known by its cold (sometimes freezing) snowy weather during winter, and its cool weather during summer, which makes it lovely to visit anytime throughout the year, especially in the summer season, where numerous Lebanese consider it one of the best summer residences in Lebanon. ==Etymology== ===Haddath=== Hadath is the name of three localities in Lebanon. To differentiate between the localities, the name of the region is added, [Hadath Beirut](/source/Hadath_Beirut), Hadath [Baalbeck](/source/Baalbeck) and finally Hadath el Joubbeh. Other localities by this name exist in the Middle East. The Semitic root of ''Hadath'' means "the new", hence the name could mean "the new town".Moubarac, Y. (1984). ''Pentalogie Antiochienne / Domaine Maronite - Volume 2 - Part 2'', Cenacle Libanais, Beirut. page 649. The common pronunciation of the name is ''Hadad'' or ''Hadid''.{{clarify|date=May 2020}} It gives an indication to a probable different meaning. ''[Hadad](/source/Hadad)'' was the northwest [Semitic](/source/Ancient_Semitic_religion) storm and rain god and the town could have had a temple dedicated to this god. And the popular tradition claims that the church dedicated to the saint patron of Hadath, Saint Daniel, was built on the remnants of a pagan temple.Lammens, H. (1986). ''Tasrih al-Absar fi Ma Yahtawi Loubnan min Al-Athar'', Dar Nazir Abboud, Beirut. Page 99-100 ==={{anchor|Jebbeh}}Jebbeh=== Jebbeh is the traditional name of the [Kadisha](/source/Kadisha) region, called also ''Jebbet Bsharri'' in reference to [Bsharri](/source/Bsharri) the largest town of this region. The Semitic root ''Gb'' means "well", "deep" and could be a reference to the deep gorges of the Kadisha. In [Lebanon](/source/Lebanon), other ''Jebbeh'' exist like Jebbet Mnaytra and Jebbet Yanuh. ==Demographics== In 2014 [Christians](/source/Christianity_in_Lebanon) made up 97.83% of registered voters in Hadath el Jebbeh. 92.71% of the voters were [Maronite Catholics](/source/Lebanese_Maronite_Christians).https://lub-anan.comالمحافظات/الشمال/بشري/حدث-الجبة/المذاهب/ ==See also== * [Maronite mummies](/source/Maronite_mummies) ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.localiban.org/article3849.html Hadath Ej Joubbeh], Localiban * [http://www.hadatheljebbeh.com www.hadatheljebbeh.com] * [http://www.hadeth.com www.hadath.com] Last retrieved on May 8, 2008. {{Bsharri District}} {{Authority control}} Category:Populated places in Bsharri District Category:Maronite Christian communities in Lebanon --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Hadath el Jebbeh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadath_el_Jebbeh) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadath_el_Jebbeh?action=history)).
