that she was full of good works and charitable deeds. She used also sew garments and tunics.
It happened one day that Tabitha became very ill and there was no cure for her sickness that she
died. All her family members were very sad and upset by her death. They heard St. Peter was in the
area and so her family members immediately sent 2 men to look for St. Peter
St. Peter came to Tabitha's room and saw her laying there and also saw everyone weeping and
crying for her. St. Peter asked everyone to leave the room and he knelt beside Tabitha and prayed to
God. St. Peter asked for God's mercy and to perform this amazing miracle of bringing Tabitha back
to life.
After St. Peter's prayers, he said to Tabitha "Tabitha, arise". She then opened her eyes and was
alive again!! St. Peter took her and showed her to all the people in the house. Every one in the city
knew of the amazing miracle St. Peter performed. So, many people became Christians and believed
in the Lord Jesus Christ. because of this miracle.
