Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Parable of the Ten Virgins or the Wise and Foolish Virgins, is a parable told by Jesus in the New Testament, and found in Matthew 25:1-13. In it, the five virgins who are prepared for the bridegroom''s arrival are rewarded and the five who are not prepared are excluded. The parable has a clear eschatological theme: be prepared for the day of reckoning. It was one of the most popular parables in the Middle Ages, with enormous influence on Gothic art, sculpture and the architecture of German and French cathedrals. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus tells a story about a party of virgins (perhaps bridesmaids or torchbearers for a procession) given the honor of attending a wedding. Each of the ten virgins is carrying a lamp (or torch) as they await the coming of the bridegroom, which they expect at some time during the night. Five of the virgins are wise and have brought sufficient oil for their lamps. Five are foolish and have not.
