Samaria, a land steeped in history and rich in significance. From the ancient times of Southern Palestine to its portrayal on the 1885 Palestine map, this region has witnessed countless tales unfold. Scenes captured in Lebanon showcase Herod's Palace, Mount Tabor, and Galilee, painting a vivid picture of its diverse landscapes. One notable event that occurred here was Jesus healing a leper, showcasing his compassion and miraculous abilities. Another significant figure associated with Samaria is Elisha, whose presence left an indelible mark on this land. Gustave Dore's Bible engraving depicts the famine that struck Samaria—a testament to the trials faced by its inhabitants throughout history. The Church of St John stands as a somber reminder of where John the Baptist met his tragic end at the hands of King Herod. The remnants of Herod's Hippodrome and Palace stand as silent witnesses to their former grandeur. Black-and-white photos capture these ruins from different angles—reminders of a glorious past now lost but not forgotten. Artistic interpretations also pay homage to Samaria's significance: Perugino's "Christ and the Woman of Samaria" portrays an intimate encounter between Christ and a Samaritan woman; while another artwork from ca. 1729 showcases Christ seated alongside her. Samaria continues to captivate us with its historical allure—a place where stories intertwine with ruins standing as testaments to past glory. It invites us to delve into its mysteries and unravel layers upon layers of ancient tales etched within its very fabric.
