Elija's Cave - Mt. Carmel

Elija went up Mt. Carmel and prayed for the end of a 7-year drought just after he slayed the prophets of baal. This is the cave in which he stayed. The Carmelites have had a monastary here for about 800 years where they contemplate God's love and pray for the Church through the intercession of Mary.
