Calendar for June 27 - Holy Prophet Elisha
Lived 900 years before Christ. When the Lord was taking the aged prophet Elijah to Himself, He revealed to him that He had appointed Elisha, the son of Shaphat, from the tribe of Reuben, from the city of Abelmaul, as his successor. Elijah told Elisha the will of the Lord and wrapped him in his cloak. In terms of purity and zeal, he was equal to the greatest prophets, and in terms of the power he received from God, he surpassed them all. He divided the water in the Jordan, in Jericho he made the bitter water drinkable, brought down the water into the trenches dug during the war with the Moabites, multiplied the oil in the pots of the poor widow, resurrected the dead son of the Samaritan woman, blinded an entire Syrian army, and put another one to flight... He prophesied is many events. He passed away at a very old age.
Saint Methodius, Patriarch of Constantinople. Saint John, Metropolitan of Euhait. Venerable Niphon.
