On Saturday, June 14, Orthodox believers honor the prophet Elisha according to the new Julian calendar. This day is considered miraculous, and Elisha himself is one of the most revered prophets of the Old Testament. He had the gift of healing, resurrection of the dead, and foretelling the future.
The Prophet Elisha was a disciple of Saint Elijah, and after the ascension of his mentor, he continued his work. After his death, attempts were made to destroy Elisha's relics, but they were preserved and transferred to Alexandria.
On this day, people pray to the prophet for healing, protection from injustice, and the fulfillment of sincere desires. According to popular belief, if a child is baptized in the name of Elisha, he will be happy, and new clothes consecrated in the temple will become a talisman.
