Holy Glorious Prophet Elias

Feast of the Holy Glorious Prophet Elias

And [Elijah] said to her, “Give me your son,” and he took him out of her arms and carried him up to a loft where he slept and laid him on his own bed. He cried to the Lord and said, “O Lord, my God, have You brought tragedy upon the widow with whom I live by killing her son?” And he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord and said, “O Lord, my God, I pray that You let this child’s soul come into him again.”

The Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he was revived. Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the chamber into the house and returned him to his mother, and Elijah said, “See, your son lives!” (1 Kings 17:19-23)

The icon is of the Holy Glorious Prophet Elias (July 20th).

The interior photograph is of the iconostasis that was erected in this temple, but was not taken in place. When St Mary's erected a new temple in 1926, the iconostasis was transferred to and re-erected at what was then St Michael Greek Catholic Church in Clymer, PA, now St Michael Orthodox Church (ACROD). The photograph is by Ung-Certez, a member of the Byzantine Forum community - where he posts under that name, and was taken at St Michael's Church. It originally appeared on the Forum's Photo Gallery.
