Mesaje de Sfântul Ilie. Urări de „La mulți ani!" și felicitări pentru sărbătoriții zilei de azi
Today, the Orthodox calendar celebrates Saint Elijah the Tishbite, with nearly 145,000 Romanians commemorating their name day. Elijah, a prophet from Israel, lived over 800 years before Christ and was known for his miracles and messages from God. He warned King Ahab of a drought due to the people's worship of Baal, which lasted for three and a half years. During this time, he was fed by ravens and performed miracles for a widow in Sidon. Eventually, he challenged the prophets of Baal, leading to their defeat and the return of rain. The day is marked by well-wishes and messages of health and happiness for those named after the saint.
