 | Seven Sleepers of Ephesus (Christian narrative) | |
| Note: Christian story cited as a metaphor for the doctrine of the Resurrection of the Body. According to the story, during the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Decius, seven (eight in some versions) Christian soldiers, in order to avoid pagan sacrifices, were concealed in a cave near Ephesus, to which the entry was later sealed. They fell into a miraculous sleep, being rescued 200 years later under the Eastern Roman emperor Theodosius II. The story is one of the many examples of the legend about a person who falls asleep and years later wakes up to find the world changed. Main source for the story is Menologion (Lives of Saints, Symeon Metaphrastes, 10th century); the story may have some connection to the account of the people of the cave mentioned in the Qur'an. The earlier origins of the seven sleepers could include ancient Hindu scriptures of the story of the deity Indra who underwent penance in hiding in a lotus stem. | |
