The document summarizes depictions of Mary and other women at the Raising of Lazarus scene from the Gospel of John found on early sarcophagi from the 3rd-4th centuries. The earliest known depiction from around 280 CE on the "Jonas sarcophagus" shows Mary falling at Jesus' feet with two other women standing behind her, distinguished by their longer skirts from the men. However, by the 4th century depictions, two of the women disappear and Mary is shown with a head covering and shrinking in size. The gender balance seen in the earliest depiction with three women and three men is not seen again after the 3rd century.
