AENEAS şi Dorcas

Peter stands in the upper room at Joppa with his arms opened toward Dorcas, also called Tabitha, as she rises alive before the gathered believers. The woman’s veiled head, clasped hands, and upward gaze emphasize the wonder of restoration, while widows and disciples watch from the doorway, recalling the community that mourned her acts of charity and the garments she had made for them. The scene draws from Acts 9:36-42, where Peter kneels in prayer and speaks, “Tabitha, arise,” and God restores her life. The miracle is not presented as human power but as the continuing ministry of Jesus Christ through His apostle, leading many in Joppa to believe in the Lord. Suitable for teaching on resurrection hope, apostolic healing, compassionate service, women of faith, and the growth of the early church.
