The Saeh library is the world of Father Sarrouj, or as some youth call him “al-Abouna Sarrouj.” Sarrouj says that he always carries the Bible in one pocket and the Quran in another. You cannot tell if this statement is serious or not. Sarrouj is close to everyone, with his genuine smile and lean body and face. He wears a hat and a gray or dark blue cloak in winter, often without any religious symbol.
