Weeks of Elijah-Sliba is the seventh season in the
liturgical year of the Syro Malabar Church. It is the feast of the exaltation
of the Holy Cross, that decides the setting of this season. The Holy Cross is the Sacrament of Risen
Jesus. It is the living icon of the transfiguration which should be the goal of
every faithful. Elijah was with Jesus at Mount Tabor at the time of His
Transfiguration. There is a belief in
the Church, right from the first centuries, that Elijah would appear before the
Second Coming of Jesus and he would make dispute with the son of perdition and
make public his errors, and after that glorious Cross would appear.
