Elias of Enna, also known as John Rachites or Elias the Younger, was a ninth-century monk who lived an itinerant life across several continents. Born in Enna, he was forced to flee his home due to the Saracen conquest of Sicily, which led to his temporary enslavement in Ifriqiya. After gaining his freedom, he dedicated himself to preaching the Gospel, traveling extensively through Palestine, Egypt, Persia, and Antioch before eventually settling in parts of Italy and Greece.
