at the highest point on Patmos island. Many people still walk up Devil's mountain to Profit Elias
Chapel, but nowadays there's a road to the top. It is said that Elias was shipwrecked. As the only survivor,
he swore to find a place as far as possible from the sea. He put the ship's paddles on his
shoulders and wandered inland asking, "Do you know what these are?", pointing to the paddles.
When he came to a place high in the mountains where no one could answer his question, he knew he
was far from the sea. Generally, the highest mountain in cities and villages have a
Chapel in honor of Profit Elias.
