 In 1587 father Antoun sought to build a church in Bikfaya, so he donated one thousand Kobrosy to this cause.However, this sum was not enough and the number of inhabitants of Bikfaya was little, so father Antoun resorted to his brother-in-law and nephew for help and unified the efforts of the two towns and implemented his project next to an old oak tree.The tree is estimated to be around 1000 years old and its trunk still remains visible until our present day.
