An incredible story continues to captivate minds and fuel debates: the supposed resurrection of Jean Chapas, a seven-year-old child declared dead by doctors, who allegedly came back to life thanks to the intervention of Nizier Anthelme Philippe, better known as Maître Philippe de Lyon.
A Dead Child and a Desperate Mother
Jean Chapas, born in 1863 to a family of fishermen living near the banks of the Saône, was declared dead at the age of seven by two doctors. His family, plunged into mourning, was preparing to organize his funeral when Maître Philippe was called to the scene.
According to the testimony of Jean-Baptiste Ravier, a close disciple of Philippe, the scene unfolded before a crowd of grieving relatives and friends.
A Supernatural Intervention?
Maître Philippe, upon entering the house, looked for Jean Chapas' mother and asked her, "Madame Chapas, do you give me your son?" Perplexed, she replied "Yes" without fully understanding the significance of the question. Then, Philippe approached the lifeless body of Jean, lying on his bed, and pronounced these words: "Jean, I return your soul."
Immediately, according to witnesses, the child opened his eyes and came back to life under the astonished gaze of those present.
Jean Chapas, the Devoted Disciple
Far from being merely a miraculously revived boy, Jean Chapas later became Maître Philippe's most faithful disciple. He followed his teachings and assisted him in his practices, eventually becoming a respected mystical figure himself.
Miracle or Illusion?
This enigmatic resurrection has raised many questions. For Maître Philippe's supporters, there is no doubt that this event was divine. For others, it could have been a medical error, with the child perhaps never truly having died.
