Perhaps your birthday or that of a loved one.  Maybe your wedding anniversary or your vacation.  Well, the first Saint on the Armenian Church calendar after the 50 days of Easter, is the Prophet Elijah who we remember today.  Elijah holds a place of prominence in the Old Testament and in the Armenian Church calendar and today we will find out why-how the last man standing in dark times-became the first among saints and harbringer of new light.
