Lazarus was highly esteemed and respected by the Hebrew community for his noble origins, honesty, and the family's piety. Lazarus was a special character in the Bible as he is the only person for whom Jesus wept in the New Testament. Lazarus was resurrected by Jesus after his death, at the request of his sister Martha, who remained steadfast in her faith. By then, Lazarus had already begun to decompose; he had been buried for four days when Jesus arrived to call him back to life.

This was one of the greatest miracles performed by Jesus. It was the last major “sign” Jesus performed, after which the high priests convened the Sanhedrin and decided to kill him; they also decided to kill Lazarus, who was living proof of Christ's divinity as the Lord of life and conqueror of death.

Some very ancient writings claim that Lazarus and his sisters went to the island of Cyprus. There, he became the bishop of Citium, now Larnaca.

Devotion to Saint Lazarus

Devotion to Saint Lazarus was very common in the early Church. Saint Lazarus began to be venerated at the start of Christianity, as Saint Jerome attests, and pilgrimages were made to his house in Bethany and to the tomb from which Jesus had resurrected him.

Saint Lazarus had the privilege of having two tombs, as he died twice. He was often thought to be the poor, miserable, and ulcerous beggar in the parable told by Jesus. Thus, during the Middle Ages, he was considered the patron saint of lepers. However, this association is incorrect and is no longer used today. His feast day is celebrated on December 17.
