She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King's palace.
Matt 25:1 - 13
"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

بِمَلاَبِسَ مُطَرَّزَةٍ تُحْضَرُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ. فِي أَثَرِهَا عَذَارَى صَاحِبَاتُهَا. مُقَدَّمَاتٍ إِلَيْكَ يُحْضَرْنَ بِفَرَحٍ وَابْتِهَاجٍ. يَدْخُلْنَ إِلَى قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ.متى ٢٥ : ١-١٣
«حِينَئِذٍ يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَشْرَ عَذَارَى أَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ وَخَرَجْنَ لِلِقَاءِ الْعَرِيسِ. وَكَانَ خَمْسٌ مِنْهُنَّ حَكِيمَاتٍ وَخَمْسٌ جَاهِلاَتٍ. أَمَّا الْجَاهِلاَتُ فَأَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ وَلَمْ يَأْخُذْنَ مَعَهُنَّ زَيْتاً وَأَمَّا الْحَكِيمَاتُ فَأَخَذْنَ زَيْتاً فِي آنِيَتِهِنَّ مَعَ مَصَابِيحِهِنَّ. وَفِيمَا أَبْطَأَ الْعَرِيسُ نَعَسْنَ جَمِيعُهُنَّ وَنِمْنَ. فَفِي نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ صَارَ صُرَاخٌ: هُوَذَا الْعَرِيسُ مُقْبِلٌ فَاخْرُجْنَ لِلِقَائِهِ! فَقَامَتْ جَمِيعُ أُولَئِكَ الْعَذَارَى وَأَصْلَحْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ. فَقَالَتِ الْجَاهِلاَتُ لِلْحَكِيمَاتِ: أَعْطِينَنَا مِنْ زَيْتِكُنَّ فَإِنَّ مَصَابِيحَنَا تَنْطَفِئُ. فَأَجَابَتِ الْحَكِيمَاتُ: لَعَلَّهُ لاَ يَكْفِي لَنَا وَلَكُنَّ بَلِ اذْهَبْنَ إِلَى الْبَاعَةِ وَابْتَعْنَ لَكُنَّ. وَفِيمَا هُنَّ ذَاهِبَاتٌ لِيَبْتَعْنَ جَاءَ الْعَرِيسُ وَالْمُسْتَعِدَّاتُ دَخَلْنَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْعُرْسِ...السنكسار
