From the rocks of the Lebanese mountain and the freedom of its winds, Farid Mattar took his love for freedom and peace. He is originally from Tannourine. He immigrated to Venezuela in his youth and transmitted his mission. In 1975, he founded "Cedar Eagle Organization", which spread to Latin America, Caribbean and South America with aim to promote peace and forgiveness. Mr. Mattar was a pioneer in peace literature; his beliefs were embodied through a monument he built in Venezuela and called Monte Libano. He believed in religious unity. Thus he created, in conjunction with UNESCO in Paris, a unique chapter at the Mattar University of Venezuela. The purpose of the chapter was to teach the culture of peace and many universities have included this material in their curriculum in a step that shows its importance and vital role it plays in lives of communities and countries. In order to express the peace culture in a refined way, Mr. Mattar built a huge statue, on a mountain in Caracas to represent peace and unite all religions in the world. The statute included a Cedar tree and in the middle it displays the signs of all religions, hence, the tourist witnesses the Christian cross, the Muslim half moon and the Star of David all united together. Mr. Mattar also founded the organization of cultural peace based in Beirut and tried to start the garden of peace which he dreamt of in Tannourine, in Laqlouq. He died in 1999, but his dream remained glowing with the principles of forgiveness, sharing and unity among different religions and cultures. Mr. Mattar received several medals of appreciation from many countries; one of the medals awarded to him after his death was only given for second time in the history of Venezuela.
