Creative activities and ideas based on the biblical figure of Jairus (and his daughter)

Jairus was a synagogue leader in Capernaum who had a sick daughter. He came to Jesus, fell at his feet and begged him to come and heal his daughter. Messengers arrived from Jairus' house to inform him that his daughter had died. But Jesus encouraged Jairus to have faith and accompanied him to his home. There, he took the girl by the hand and commanded her to rise, and she came back to life, astonishing those present.
