Our Holy Father Elias of Murom.
Commemorated December 19 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion
From the Prologue
He was a monk of the Kiev Caves, and died in 1188. His uncorrupt relics have wonderworking power. Three fingers of his right hand are to this day raised in prayer, whence it is seen that he died at prayer. This is a commentary on those who do not make the sign of the Cross with three fingers.
