Notes:

Seven people, including women and children, sit outside the entrance to the tomb of Lazarus.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description. The description: "(John, xi:43.)--The tomb of Lazarus is in Bethany, where Mary and Martha and Lazarus lived. This is a wretched and miserable village now. But because it was once the home of the family where our Savior was so often entertained it has an undying charm for the Christian world. The tomb of Lazarus is a deep vault excavated in the rock and lined with masonry. Christians and Mohammedans alike regard the place with the greatest reverence[.] It is absolutely certain that Lazarus was buried here. It seems reasonable to accept the place that has so long been looked upon as the tomb of Lazarus as correct. Above the tomb and the village of Bethany is a square tower called the Castle of Lazarus."; The photograph was not catalogued by Lazard--it was catalogued at LKCAJS.; Condition: Good
