Lazzaro di Betania, or Lazarus of Bethany, is a biblical figure known for his miraculous resurrection by Gesù in the New Testament. He was the brother of Marta and Maria, and lived in the village of Bethany, near Jerusalem. His story is primarily found in the Gospel of Giovanni, specifically in chapter 11, where it illustrates themes of faith and divine power. Lazzaro's resurrection is significant in Christian theology as it demonstrates Gesù's authority over life and death. This event not only strengthened the faith of his followers but also foreshadowed Gesù's own resurrection. Lazzaro is often depicted in art and literature, symbolizing hope and the promise of eternal life.
