MORE ABOUT LAZARUS

THERE'S A FRENCH CHURCH, CALLED TRINITY AT VENDOME, WITH A PHYLACTERY (A SMALL LEATHER BOX) CONTAINING A TEAR FROM JESUS SHED AT LAZARUS' ORIGINAL TOMB. THE CHURCH IS NEAR A SITE WHERE THEY HELD PUBLIC EXECUTIONS UNTIL THE 16TH CENTURY. IF THE WALLS COULD TALK... ONCE LAZARUS WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, HE STOPPED SMILING. CERTAIN PEOPLE SAY THE REASON WHY LAZARUS STOPPED SMILING WAS BECAUSE HE REMEMBERED WHAT HE HAD SEEN WHILE BEING DEAD PRIOR TO JESUS RESURRECTING HIM. SUPPOSEDLY LAZARUS HAD SEEN MANY UNREDEEMED SOULS IN HADES DURING HIS 4 DAYS OF DEATH. THERE WAS ONE EXCEPTION FOR LAZARUS NOT SMILING. HE SAW SOMEONE STEALING A POT AND STATED WITH A SMILE "THE CLAY STEALS THE CLAY." OH, THE JEWISH HUMOR! THAT'S SIMILAR TO JESUS AND THE FIG TREE HE CURSED AS A JOKE. DO SOME RESEARCH.
