In this photo captured by Joseph Eid from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Lebanese coastal city of Byblos comes alive with a mesmerizing display of lights and colors.

The festive scene takes place in November 2016, as Lebanon embraces the joyous spirit of Christmas.

Byblos, located north of Beirut in the Middle East, is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. In this photograph, it becomes evident that religion plays an integral role in shaping Lebanon's identity. With Christianity being one of the prominent faiths practiced in the region, this illuminated Christmas tree symbolizes unity and hope for believers.

It serves as a reminder that despite any challenges faced throughout history or present times, traditions like these continue to connect communities together through shared beliefs.
