The Ten Virgins
This is a parable that Jesus told His followers to teach them the importance of living Holy lives.
Origin
The New Testament; Matthew 25
Story
Jesus told His followers a story of ten virgins who went out to meet a bridegroom. Five were fools, and five of them were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps with them, but they did not take any oil. The five wise women carried extra oil in jars.
The bridegroom was taking a long time to come, and soon, all the women fell asleep. Their lamps all burned out.
At midnight, there was a cry that the bridegroom was arriving and that they were to go and greet him. The five foolish women asked the wise women to lend them some oil, but the wise women refused, as there was not enough for two lamps and that they should go and buy some oil.
When they went about their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the wise women welcomed and entered into the banquet hall with him. When the other 5 returned and asked to be let in, they were refused.
Moral
Live lives that are pleasing to God because you never know when the time will come for Him to take you home.
