On the day I visited, it was early in the tourist season and the mosaic was covered with plastic and earth. I was the only visitor there, even though it is an official pilgrimage destination for Catholics. Being alone at the antiquity was peaceful and tranquil, making it a fantastic location for reflection and introspection. The high elevation offers an expansive vista of the fertile Jordan River Valley. It was an invigorating experience for my soul to be in such a reverend location. The site of Tel Mar Elias is only a few kilometres from the famous Ajloun castle. My driver had only been there once, he vaguely knew the way and he was excited to visit again. There was very little signage, so we stopped once at a junction to ask the driver of a passing car for direction, it turned out we had headed the correct way.
The site at Tel Mar Elias includes the remains of two Byzantine churches, scattered across the top of a hill. The site is associated with the Prophet Elijah as it is very close to the ruins of a village known as Listib, formerly Tishbi, known as the home of Elijah. This site has been identified as the same place Elijah ascended to Heaven. The story goes that as a prophet Elijah who was known for raising the dead and calling down fire from heaven was oppressed by the ruling of King Ahab in Israel. So as an old man, God told Elijah to leave Israel and settle in the land that is now Jordan. When Elijah and his successor Elisha arrived at the River Jordan, Elijah struck the water with his cloak, the water parted and they crossed the dry land. As they reached the other side of the river, a fiery chariot came and carried Elijah into the heavens (2 Kings 2). Elijah is referred to in both the Bible and the Qur'an.
The two Byzantine churches have, what I believe are wonderful mosaics dating from 622 AD mentioning Prophet Elijah. As I mentioned previously, I visited early in the tourist season and the mosaics were covered with plastic and earth. What I could see were intricate and ornate geometric patterns. In the centre of the site, there is an oak tree with hundreds of pieces of cloth and ribbons tied to its branches. There is a tradition among both Muslims and Christians to pray at the tree for health and healing.

كاتدرائية مار الياس Mar Elias
أخذ الموقع أهمية خاصة له و ذلك لأنه اعتبر من مواقع الحج المسيحي في الأردن، و الذي أقره الفاتيكان كموقع المغطس الذي يبعد عن البحر الميت حوالي 11كم إلى شمال، و غيرها من مواقع الحج المسيحي في الأردن. و قد كشفت التنقيبات الأثرية في الأعوام 1999م و 2001م عن أهم أثار الموقع و هي: • دير مار إلياس و هو المكان الذي صعد منه النبي إيليا إلى السماء، و كرس الدير للرهبان. • و الكنائس التي تم العثور عليها في الموقع، و سنأتي على ذكرها بالتفصيل.
