Holy Prophet Elisha
Troparion of Elisha
Angel in the flesh, foundation of the prophets, second precurser of Christ's coming; the glorious Elijah sends down heavenly graces on Elisha, banishing disease and cleansing lepers. Wherefore the showers restored health on all who venerate him.
Saint Methodios of Constantinople
"Jesus said: "Honor your father and mother." Therefore in order that He might observe His own decree, He gave all grace and honor to His Mother."
St. Methodius
Icon at Elisha Monastery, Lebanon
Is that icon showing Elisha or Elijah? The former was the disciple of the latter. I ask because in the Bible it's Elijah that's fed by ravens (crows) See: Bible Gateway passage: 1 Kings 17:2-16 - New …
Elijah's feast day is July 20.
It is Elijah at the Monastery of Elisha. Good observation. God Bless. ☨
P.S. Elisha inherited the spirituality of Elijah. Which also happened to the Carmelite order.
