📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first-century Jewish culture, weddings were community events where the bridegroom would arrive unexpectedly at night, and attendants like the virgins would wait with oil lamps to light the way and join the procession. Jesus told this parable in Matthew 25 to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing that His followers must be ready for His return, which could be delayed. The mention of the virgins sleeping shows that waiting for significant events often involved normal human rest and vulnerability.
