 Tabitha
    (in Greek called Dorcas), gazelle, a disciple at Joppa. She was
    distinguished for her alms-deeds and good works. Peter, who was
    sent for from Lydda on the occasion of her death, prayed over
    the dead body, and said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her
    eyes and sat up; and Peter "gave her his hand, and raised her
    up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive"
    (Acts 9:36-43).
