The Ten Virgins - The parable
In The Parable of the Ten Virgins the story is told by Jesus of a party of virgins given the honour of attending a wedding. Each of the ten virgins is carrying a lamp as they await the coming of the bridegroom. Five are wise and bring an extra jar of oil. Five are foolish and do not. The bridegroom is late in coming; the foolish virgins ask the wise ones for spare oil, but they refuse, saying that they might then not have enough. While the foolish virgins are away buying more oil, the bridegroom arrives. The wise virgins are there to welcome him and the foolish ones arrive too late and are excluded.
It was one of the most popular parables in the Middle Ages with ennormous influence on Gothic art, sculpture and the architecture of German and French cathedrals.
