Samaritan: Dignitaries 

‎Samaritan dignitaries in their traditional dress at the ceremony of Waving the Torah Scrolls at the Festival of Pentecost on Mount Gerizim. In the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37) Jesus gives the example of a Samaritan who bound the wounds of a man who had been attacked by thieves on his way from Jerusalem to Jericho and paid for his stay at a roadside inn as a real friend. The Inn of the Good Samaritan is identified by tradition as the inn at Ma’ale Adummim—the red or cloudy ascent—on the Jerusalem-Jericho road.
