Saint Lazarus: A Story of Faith, Healing, and Miracles
Discover the miraculous story of Saint Lazarus and the healing rituals that inspire faith and resilience in believers across many cultures.
According to the Gospel of John, Saint Lazarus was a resident of the town of Bethany and the brother of Martha and Mary. He fell gravely ill and eventually died. When Jesus arrived in Bethany, he was deeply moved by the sorrow of Lazarus' sisters and the mourning of those present. Jesus, displaying his divine power, called Lazarus out of the tomb, and Lazarus emerged alive, restored to life by the grace of Jesus.
