The Holy Prophet Elijah (Ilija) is one of the greatest of the prophets. He was born in Galaadian Thesbia (Tishbe) into the Levite tribe 900 years before the Incarnation of the Word of God.
The name Elijah (the Lord's strength) was given to the infant and it defined his whole life. From the years of his youth he dedicated himself to the One True God, settled in the wilderness and spent his whole life in strict fasting, Divine-meditation and prayer. Because of his fiery zeal for the Glory of God, the Prophet Elijah was taken up alive to Heaven on a fiery chariot, which was witnessed by the Prophet Elisha. The Prophet Elisha began with the testimony of the ascent of the Prophet Elijah to the heavens on a fiery chariot and received together with his fallen-down mantle (cloak) a gift of prophetic spirit twice as great, than the Prophet Elijah had possessed (2 Kings 2). According to the tradition of Holy Church, the Prophet Elijah will be a Fore‑Runner of the Terrible Second Coming of Christ upon the earth and during the time of preaching will be a sign of bodily death.
"O Holy and Glorious Prophet of God, Elijah, intercede with Him that our souls may be saved!"
Нека е за многу години Илинден, May it be for many years Ilinden!
