The Christian Prophet Elijah | Lithography print on wood, Silver and Gold foiled | Size: 14"x7 1/4"

This fabulous  icon is a high-resolution print on hardboard, embellished with light-reflecting silver and gold foil.

The Christian Prophet Elijah was born 9 centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ, during the rule of King Ahab, and was mentioned in the Old Testament. During his life, Elijah performed many miracles and spoke on God’s behalf. One of the most known miracles that would later be depicted in many icons was the sending of rain to the land after three years of terrible drought. Elijah did it through prayer to the True God and thus saved many people who worshiped pagan gods. It is interesting that according to the Orthodox Church, the Prophet Elijah will be the Forerunner of the Dread Second Coming of Christ.
