Mount Carmel is notably known for the biblical account of the prophet Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal, which took place on its slopes. In this story, Elijah challenged the prophets to call upon their god to ignite a sacrifice, while he would call upon the God of Israel. When Baal failed to respond, Elijah's prayer was answered with fire from heaven, demonstrating the power of the true God and leading to the defeat of the false prophets. This event is significant in Jewish and Christian traditions as a demonstration of faith and divine authority.
