Tabitha, also known as Dorcas, was a woman from the city of Joppa who was known for her good works and acts of charity. According to the book of Acts, she became ill and died, causing many in the community to mourn her loss. Peter, one of Jesus' disciples, was sent for and, through prayer, was able to raise her from the dead. The story of Tabitha/Dorcas highlights the importance of serving others and the power of faith in Christ.
