Abstract
We construct time independent configurations describing a small elastic body moving in a circular orbit in the Schwarzschild spacetime. These configurations are relativistic versions of Newtonian solutions constructed previously by us. In the process we simplify and sharpen previous results of ours concerning elastic bodies in rigid rotation.
