Bethany - al Eizariya - Home of Lazarus

Bethany is a small village within walking distance from Jerusalem.  About two miles from the city, it is called al-Eizariya (Arabic for "Place of Lazarus") today. 

The village maintains a passed-over-by-the-ages appearance.  The image above - from a postcard - depicts how it looked in 1900.
