This hand-painted Orthodox wooden icon depicts The Holy Prophet Elijah, the one who was taken from earthly life into heavenly life without passing through the gate of death.

The original painting, signed “DAM” (Ana Drăgan), portrays the saint ascending to heaven in the fiery chariot.

Saint Prophet Elijah is commemorated by the Church on July 20.

Through his zeal, Saint Prophet Elijah reached the highest peak of virtue. He did not depart through death, but was taken up into heaven, deemed worthy to behold face to face the glory of the Incarnate God, together with Moses and the three Apostles on the day of the Transfiguration (according to Matthew 17).

Elijah’s departure is presented as a miracle accomplished by the power of God, whom he had served with great authority. Tradition says that, sensing his days on earth were numbered, he chose Elisha as his successor. So great was his stature that the Lord granted him the grace of passing from this earthly life directly into the heavenly one, without going through the gate of death. He is the second figure of the Old Testament to be taken up bodily into heaven.

This wonder was witnessed by his disciple, as Elijah was carried up into heaven in a fiery chariot drawn by horses.
