EDITORS COMMENTS
Bethany: The Home of Lazarus - A Scene from the 19th Century Bethany, a small village nestled in the Judean hills near Jerusalem, holds a significant place in Christian history and tradition. Identified in modern times as the Palestinian village of al-Eizariya in the West Bank, Bethany is renowned as the home of the siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, as mentioned in the New Testament. This 19th-century illustration from the Reuben Luke Collection, available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the biblical scene of Bethany. The print, likely inspired by the Gospel of John, depicts the village as a peaceful, idyllic setting with simple stone houses, lush greenery, and a serene atmosphere. The story of Bethany is deeply rooted in the Christian faith, as it is the site of a miraculous event in which Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. According to the Gospel of John (11:1-44), Lazarus had fallen ill and died, prompting Jesus to travel to Bethany to comfort his friends. When he arrived, he found Lazarus' sisters, Mary and Martha, grieving over their brother's death. Jesus then proceeded to raise Lazarus from the tomb, demonstrating his divine power and ultimately leading to his arrest and crucifixion. This evocative image of Bethany invites us to reflect on the powerful story of faith, hope, and the transformative power of love and resurrection. The scene serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Bible and the stories it contains, which continue to inspire and captivate people around the world.
