In the picture, you can see a rare Russian icon painted circa 1800. Its rarity lies in the figures it depicts. The thing is that an anonymous icon painter depicted Saint George, the Archangel Michael, the Prophet Elijah, and Saint Tryphon, all in one icon, which was not usual for the iconography of the period. Each figure bears a considerable historical and religious significance, though the connection between the four is open to interpretation.

Today we celebrate the Holy Prophet Elijah (Elias) the Tishbite. The Prophet Elijah defended the worship of the True God over that of the Canaanite idol Baal. God also performed many miracles through Elijah, including raising the dead, bringing fire down from the sky, and taking the prophet up to heaven by a whirlwind on a fiery chariot. The Book of Malachi prophesies Elijah's return before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord, making him a forerunner of the returning Messiah. May he intercede for us all and a blessed name day to all who celebrate + #saint #prophet #elijah #elias #prophetelijah #fierychariot #chariot #God #worship #truegod #canaan #oldtestament #bible #orthodox #saintoftheday (at jala'ad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNTrfPPMsf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today we celebrate the memory of the Holy Prophet Elisha. Prophet Elisha was a disciple of Prophet Elijah and when the latter ascended to heaven, Prophet Elisha asked for double the blessing that Prophet Elijah would receive in Heaven. He was promised this and Elijah let down his clock, leaving it to Elisha. This was the start of his prophetic service. Through his prayers, Elisha divided the Jordan River, just like Moses and the Red Sea, he turned a salty, undrinkable spring into sweet, as well as many other miracles.
