The Fiery Ascension of Prophet Elijah Icon – 16 Scenes from His Life

This sacred Orthodox icon depicts the Fiery Ascension of the Prophet Elijah to Heaven, accompanied by 16 key scenes from his life. Crafted on wood, it is a faithful reproduction of a late 18th-century Palekh original.

Prophet Elijah, one of the greatest Old Testament prophets, lived during the reigns of Kings Ahab and Ahaziah (9th century BC) and served as the mentor of Prophet Elisha, passing on the gift of prophecy. Known as "Elijah the Thesbite" from the city of Thisbe in Galilee, he was revered in Ancient Rus’ for his divine authority over nature. According to Scripture, Elijah called down a three-year drought to punish King Ahab’s wickedness.

The icon also portrays the dramatic moment of Elijah’s ascension to heaven on a fiery chariot, a powerful prefiguration of Christ’s Resurrection and the Ascension of the Mother of God. This icon is a perfect addition to a personal prayer corner, church, or as a meaningful gift for Orthodox believers, symbolizing faith, divine guidance, and heavenly protection.

🖼 Product Features

Each icon in our workshop is made to last a lifetime and beyond. The image is printed with rich, fade-resistant pigment inks on a premium solid-core wood panel — then hand-finished with a natural beeswax coating that deepens the colors, protects the surface, and gives each piece the warm, reverent quality of a traditionally crafted sacred object. A metal hanging hook is included on the back, so your icon is ready to display the moment it arrives.
