Ἅγιος Προφήτης Ἠλίας · Святой Пророк Илия
Holy Prophet Elias (Elijah), of the tribe of Levi, from Tishba of Gilead (9th century BC, reign of King Ahab of Israel). One of the greatest of the Old Testament prophets; called by the OCA 'the first dedicated to virginity in the Old Testament.' Taken up into heaven in a fiery chariot without tasting death (2 Kings 2:11); appeared with Moses at the Transfiguration of Christ (Matt. 17:3). In Orthodox liturgical usage, the standard English form is 'Elias' (reflecting Greek Ἠλίας); 'Elijah' is the standard Hebrew-derived form common in English Bibles and also used in Orthodox texts. Feast day 20 July.
