Quiz: Great Lent

The raising of Lazarus is the last great miracle of Christ, the last glimpse of His Glory before the Passion Night. The Evangelist John describes this event as an eyewitness, with remarkable, almost palpable authenticity. You see literally every detail: the timidity of the disciples, their hesitation, and finally their determination to face the danger. Jesus, with eyes full of tears, at the tomb; the sisters, overwhelmed by grief; Martha's confusion, the stone rolled away and the imperious call heard in the beyond: "Come out, Lazarus!". A silent figure in a shroud on the threshold of the crypt... He Who would soon have to pass through the gates of death Himself declares Himself its victor.
