Tabitha (which is Aramaic for 'Dorcas'), was a Christian woman living in Joppa, who was known for her "good deeds and gifts of mercy", often making clothing for needy widows. At one point, she got sick and died, and was resurrected by the Apostle Peter. This was the first reported resurrection by an apostle, which led many to become believers all aound Joppa.(Acts 9:36-42). (Both names, Tabitha and Dorcas, mean 'Gazelle').
