Today 20.JULY we celebrate SAINT ELIJAH day ( on the Orthodox Christians Church). Also on that day we celebrate the Romanian Air national day and Romanian Air Force day.

Elijah (Hebrew: אליהו, Eliyahu, (Christian Arab Name,مارالياس, Mar Elias); also known as Elias and Saint Elias) was a prophet in Israel in the 9th century BCE. He appears in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Mishnah, Christian Bible, and the Qur'an. According to the Books of Kings, Elijah raised the dead, brought fire down from the sky, and ascended into heaven on a Chariot. In the New Testament, both Jesus and John the Baptist are on some occasions thought to be Elijah. He is also one of two Old Testament figures (along with Moses) who appears and converses with Jesus during the Transfiguration.
