# The Resurrection of Lazarus

The resurrection of Lazarus is recounted in the Gospel according to Saint John: four days after his death, Lazarus is resurrected by Jesus in the presence of his two sisters, Martha and Mary.

Near the capital, two column statues representing a grieving woman and Lazarus in his shroud echo the theme of the illustrated capital.

Furthermore, the tomb of Lazarus echoes that of Christ depicted on another capital in the cloister: the capital of the Resurrection:
