Elias (or in Hebrew, Elijah) lived under the rule of Ahab, “who did evil before the Lord, more than all who were before him” (3 Kgd. 16:38). Through Elijah, God gave the world a voice of justice in an unjust time. But the miracles and signs worked through Elijah prefigure those Jesus worked during His life.
Elijah is depicted as an ascetic, a sojourner in the wilderness. His sandals, brown tunic, and green hair-lined cloak represent the simplicity and spirituality found in the retreats of the earth. The Prophet is commemorated on July 20.
