Chapter I · The Mount of Elijah
Where fire fell from heaven
On the heights of Carmel the prophet Elijah stood alone before the people and called down fire upon the altar. The mount has been holy ever since: to the prophets who praised its beauty, to the pilgrims who climbed it, and to every generation that has looked up at it from the sea.
“The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.”1 Kings xviii. 39

Questions
Before a portion is given
Do I own the land?
No. A portion is a symbolic dedication recorded in our private register. It gives no ownership, lease, deed or other right in land. In Israel, rights in land exist only through registration at the Land Registry, and this keepsake involves none.
Can I visit my portion?
No. The land is private and is kept quiet for replanting, so it is not open to holders or the public. You receive your scroll, its number on the register and a photograph of the mount each year.
Can I choose any verse?
Yes. Choose any verse from the Bible, up to 260 letters, or pick one of ours. We set it in the King James Version and check it before the scroll is written.
What do the titles mean?
Disciple, Prophet and Patriarch are honorary names within the Register of the Holy Mount. They are not titles of nobility, religious offices or legal status, and they make no claim of spiritual authority.
Where does the replanting money go?
Ten percent of the price of every portion goes to a separate Replanting Fund. It pays for olive, fig and other native trees, their planting and their care on the mount. Holders receive a yearly account of what was planted.
Why is the register limited?
The land has a fixed area. Each title has a set number of portions so that the slopes, paths and trees remain. When a title’s portions are given, it closes.
Can I cancel?
Orders can be cancelled within 14 days of delivery for a full refund.
