Christ Raises Widow of Naim's Son to Life


This eleventh-century illuminated manuscript image depicts Christ raising a young man from the dead.

"As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, 'Do not weep.' Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, 'Young man, I say to you, rise!' The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother."

-Lk. 7:12-15
