Saint Lazarus the Friend of Christ Framed Canvas Icon

Saint Lazarus, brother of Martha and Mary of Bethany, was already dead and entombed for four days when Christ called him forth from the grave in one of the most astonishing miracles recorded within the Gospels, an event so undeniable that it hardened the resolve of Christ's enemies even as it strengthened the faith of His followers. Tradition holds that Lazarus lived for many years following his return to life, eventually travelling to Cyprus where he was ordained bishop and continued to serve the Church faithfully until his second and final death decades later. Accounts handed down through the centuries describe him as a changed man following his experience beyond the grave, reportedly never laughing again for the remainder of his life, so profound was the impression left upon him by what he had witnessed of the world beyond death. He remains a uniquely powerful witness within the Church to the reality of the resurrection that awaits all the faithful, a man who passed through death itself and returned to tell of the hope that lies beyond it.

“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)

O holy Lazarus, friend of Christ, who didst pass through death and return to bear witness to the life beyond it, intercede for us, that we too may live without fear of death, trusting in the resurrection Christ has promised. Amen.
