Prophet Elijah in a Chariot of Fire | High quality Serigraph icon | Made in Mount Athos | Size: 7,8" x 5,5"

An icon is a sacred image of persons and events of biblical or ecclesiastical history. Icons not only decorate the temple, but also help believers tune in to prayer. That is why, since ancient times, the icon has been called a "wordless sermon" and "theology in colors." The SACRED ART presents a wide range of canonical temple and house icons.

Elisha’s call is confirmed; his request is granted. He witnesses the awesome spectacle of Elijah’s ascension into heaven. The supernatural chariots and horses of fire—symbols of God’s sovereign glory—are revealed to him. God’s invisible presence and awesome power are made manifest. For a brief moment the boundary between this world and the next becomes transparent, and the spiritual powers of the unseen world become visible.
