Life
Saint Elias of Palestine was an early Christian martyr, a priest, one of four Christians who led the services for the persecuted Christians condemned to work in the quarries of Palestine in the wake of the persecution of Diocletian.
When the emperor Galerius learned of this, he had Elias burned alive with the other leaders, Peleus, Nilus and Patermuthius, and the Christians were dispersed to mines in Cyprus and Lebanon. He is venerated as a saint in both the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. His commemoration is kept on 19 September. He is a saint of the undivided Church.
