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.
