Saint Tabitha is the patron Saint of tailors and seamstresses. In the time that the apostle Peter was preaching at Lydda she was a Christian living at nearby Joppa, known widely for her generosity and kindness. She died suddenly but Peter was sent for and he stood by her deathbed, saying "Tabitha, get up!". She awoke and got up, completely restored to good health.

In some versions of the story her name is Dorcas - the Greek translation of the Aramaic Tabitha (gazelle).
