EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, depicts the ancient Well of the Good Samaritan located in Palestine. The image transports us back in time, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical landscape of the Holy Land during the 19th century. The Good Samaritan is a parable from the Christian Bible, found in the book of Luke, Chapter 10, verses 25-37. The story tells of a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho who was robbed, beaten, and left for dead. A priest and a Levite passed by the man, but a Samaritan, an ethnic and religious outsider, stopped to help him, providing him with food, water, and shelter. This act of kindness and compassion became a symbol of the importance of helping those in need, regardless of their background. In this photograph, we see the well that is believed to have been the site of the Good Samaritan's encounter with the injured traveler. The image captures the arid landscape, with the well as a vital source of water in the midst of the desert. The traditional stone structure, surrounded by ancient olive trees and a few travelers, adds to the sense of history and tradition. This photograph is an invaluable archival record of the early 20th century, offering a unique perspective on the people, culture, and history of the region. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the Good Samaritan story and the importance of compassion and kindness in our own lives.
