The Issue of Pandemic in Folklore and Mythology
Abstract
Theology considers diseases and cures as ontological experience of humankind, which, in itself relates to the Original Sin and the problem of abuse of the freedom given by God. Therefore, Jesus Christ approaches the issue of curing globally and resurrects not only the body and soul of a person, but also his position in the society, his social identity. All this suggests that a human cannot be fully cured without considering all the aspects of his life. Specialists of the New Testament compare such cure of a human to the Miracle of the Resurrection of the Lord, which reveals the support of the Savior to the mortal humankind.
