A native of the Aaron tribe, from the city of Tesvit. He had the biggest conflict with the Israeli king Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Jezebel, a Syrian, persuaded her husband to build a temple to the Syrian god Baal. With great miracles, the prophet Elijah proved the power of God: he closed the sky and for 3 and a half years it did not rain, he sent down fire from the sky and lit a sacrifice to God, while the priests of Baal could not do it, with a prayer he brought down the rain from the sky, miraculously multiplied the flour and oil in the widow's house in Sarepta and resurrected her son, Ahab prophesied that the dogs would lick his blood, and Jezebel that the dogs would tear her to shreds... He spoke with God at Horeb. He was taken 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 Avrami
