About Saint Elisha the Prophet
Elisha was a ninth-century BC prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel and the chosen successor of Elijah. The Books of Kings describe him confronting rulers, aiding widows, healing Naaman the Syrian, feeding communities, and performing signs of God’s life-giving power. His ministry joined prophetic truth with practical compassion across social boundaries.
