Overview
Jacob’s Well is one of the most revered and enduring pilgrimage sites in the Holy Land, located within the serene grounds of the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Photini in eastern Nablus. For centuries, Christians have honored this spot as the place where Jesus conversed with the Samaritan woman, offering her the “living water” that symbolizes spiritual renewal. The well itself, hewn deep into the earth and fed by natural springs, is widely regarded as one of the most authentically identified locations mentioned in the New Testament, with its position referenced consistently by early Christian writers, Byzantine pilgrims, and modern archaeologists.
