Jesus told a parable about ten girls who participated in a wedding feast. The day's custom was for the feast to begin when the bridegroom arrived. Five bridesmaids were wise and had their lamps ready for his arrival. They were escorted into the feast. The five foolish bridesmaids were off buying oil and missed being invited in. Jesus said the parable meant always being ready because we do not know the day of his return.
