Orthodox Icon of Prophet Elijah’s Fiery Ascent to Heaven
🕊️ A Testament of Faith and Divine Power
This handcrafted Orthodox icon depicts the dramatic Fiery Ascent of the Prophet Elijah, taken directly from the Old Testament (2 Kings 2:11–13). Elijah is shown rising into heaven on a chariot of fire, drawn by fiery horses, while his disciple Elisha kneels below, receiving the prophet’s mantle — a transfer of spiritual authority.
Based on a 19th-century Russian original, this icon captures the mystery and beauty of this miracle with vivid, reverent detail. A deeply symbolic piece, it serves as a visual bridge between the Old and New Testaments, echoing Christ’s Ascension and divine victory over death.
