Elijah's teachings established the idea that a higher moral law should be the basis for earthly law. In his conflicts with Ahab and the pagan leaders of the time, Elijah argued that the law of a higher God must be the basis for guiding mankind's conduct and that morality must be the basis for a practical legal system. The icon reflects scenes from his life.
