Lazarus and the Rich Man

Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

The parables of the rich man and Lazarus (also sometimes called the Dives and Lazarus - 'dives' is a Latin word that meant 'rich man') is only found in Luke's gospel, yet is one of the most frequently illustrated parables in Medieval art (probably in no small part due to its vivid depiction of the afterlife). Join us Sunday as we explore Luke 16:19-31.
