A descendant of the tribe of Aaron, from the city of Tishbite. He had the greatest conflict with the king of Israel Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Jezebel, a Syrian, persuaded her husband to build a temple to the Syrian god Baal. The prophet Elijah proved the power of God with great miracles: he closed the sky and it did not rain for 3 and a half years, he brought down fire from heaven and burned a sacrifice to God, while the priests of Baal could not do this, he brought down rain from heaven with prayer, miraculously multiplied flour and oil in the house of a widow in Zarephath and resurrected her son, he prophesied to Ahab that dogs would lick his blood, and to Jezebel that dogs would tear her to pieces… At Horeb he spoke with God. He was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire. On Tabor, with Moses, he appeared to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Elijah, Patriarch of Jerusalem, and Saint Flavian, Patriarch of Antioch. Venerable Abraham
