- Holy Glorious Prophet Elias (Elijah) (9th c. BC)
- Read his marvellous story in the Holy Scriptures, 1 and 2 Kings. At
his birth, his father Sabah saw angels of God surrounding the Prophet,
clothing him in fire and feeding him flames. At the end of his years on
earth, he was carried bodily to heaven by a flaming chariot; with Enoch
(Gen. 5:24) he is one of the two ever to be taken bodily to heaven
without first dying and being raised. He and Moses appeared standing
with Christ at the Transfiguration on Mt Tabor. His name means 'The Lord
is God'.
