The Tomb of Lazarus is a traditional spot of pilgrimage located in the East Jerusalem town of al-Eizariya, in Israel, the biblical village of Bethany, on the southeast slope of the Mount of Olives, some 2.4 km (1.5 miles) east of Jerusalem. The tomb is the purported site of a miracle recorded in the Gospel of John in which Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.[1]
