Saints by Candlelight has a new script: episode 64, Tabitha and the tunics in the upper room at Joppa. It retells Acts 9:36-43, the seamstress whose name means gazelle in both Aramaic and Greek, and the widows who held up the coats she made when Peter came.

What is fixed and what is invented is stated in the script itself. Luke's words and deeds are kept as written. The weather, the road to Lydda and the widows' small talk are ours, and the closing notes say so. The Aramaic likeness between Peter's two words and the Lord's Talitha cumi is offered as scholars' observation, not proof.

The script is about 5,600 spoken words and passes the show's own length and style check. Like the episodes since number 20 it is text only: the audio folders are past the 400 MB line the creative prompt sets, so no MP3 was added. The page, feed and sitemap are regenerated from the script.
