Description
As told in I Kings 17: 8-24, in the city of Zarephath the prophet Elijah met a widow gathering sticks who gave him food and drink. The widow's son was mortally ill and Elijah carried him upstairs where he "stretched himself upon the child three times" and called upon God. The child was revived.
