It is written in the Gospel of St. John: There was an ill man, a certain Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha, his sister. Bethany was about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem.

Lazarus' tomb is reached by descending 24 steep steps put there in the 17th century. Here, the body of Lazarus was resuscitated by the words of Jesus.
