A starry night at the
Alice Eddé boutique in Byblos
On Wednesday the 6th of January, wise men and women followed a star to Byblos.
There they found Alice Eddé’s Epiphany celebrations in full swing.
To celebrate the Feast of the Kings—the twelfth night after Christmas, when the three kings visited the baby Jesus with their offerings of gold, frankincense and myrrh—Alice Eddé delighted visitors to her boutique with glittering lights, wafts of her exotic home fragrances and plenty of mirth!
The guests, who came from as far afield as Venezuela, enjoyed traditional French Epiphany treats such as decadent galette des rois, special crown sugar cookies and mini Lebanese favourites all washed down with hot chocolate and glühwein.
But the real highlight of the event was the crown-making
competition.
Judged by a panel of prominent Lebanese creatives, the winner was local talent, young Pierre Saliba. He fashioned a crown featuring a star, a branch of cranberries and a wide, gold bow.
Although there could only be one winner, all guests got to feel like royalty—with a regal hand massage, a photo opportunity on the red carpet, a seat on the throne.
