In a small Transylvanian village, young Elijah Iorest, driven by an unyielding thirst for divine knowledge, embarked on a solitary pilgrimage to numerous monasteries. Ignoring the biting cold and his hunger, he would read and pray until his legs could not support him anymore. His life of austerity and prayer transformed the entire Ardeal region and the lives of his flock.

Lord, enlighten our minds so we can serve You more effectively like Confessor Elijah did.
