The Gospels of Mark (5:21–43) and Luke (8:40–56) present the story of Jairus and his 12-year-old daughter whom Jesus raised from the dead. Some biblical scholars interpret this event as Jesus seeing death as a falling asleep, informing Christians how their transition from one world to the next is seen from God’s perspective. God sees death as a Dormition in anticipation of the greater life to come. A sinless person like the Virgin Mary will eventually experience it in exactly the same way, celebrated annually as the Feast of the Dormition or falling asleep of Mary or Theotokos — a Greek Orthodox title for the Virgin Mary meaning "God-bearer" or "Mother of God".
