Origin[]
Lazarus of Bethany is a figure within the Christian Bible, mentioned in the New Testament in the Gospel of John, whose life is restored by Jesus four days after his death. The resurrection is considered one of the miracles of Jesus. In John, this is the last of the miracles that Jesus performs before the passion, crucifixion and his own resurrection. Many denominations view this as a sign of the powerful miracles faith within God could perform, triumphing over death itself.
When Jesus arrives in Bethany, he finds that Lazarus is dead and has already been in his tomb for four days. He meets first with Martha and Mary in turn. Jesus has the mourners roll the tomb stone away from the entrance and says a prayer. He calls for Lazarus to return, who comes forth still wrapped in his grave-clothes.
The name Lazarus is frequently used in science and popular culture in reference to apparent restoration to life; for example, the scientific term Lazarus taxon denotes organisms that reappear in the fossil record after a period of apparent extinction, and also the Lazarus sign and the Lazarus syndrome. There are also numerous literary uses of the term.
Effects[]
Resurrects a deceased person to their peak condition for a limit of four days, allowing them to immediately recover from any injury in that timeframe. Sickness from exposure or long-term health issues will be negligible to one’s actions. The recipient does not need to be already deceased to work; wearing it while originally alive acts as a safety feature that revives them upon death. Once the period passes, they are once again mortal to new wounds.
