The Parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Christ’s most profound teachings, found in Luke 10:25-37. It tells of a man beaten by robbers and left for dead, ignored by a priest and a Levite, but rescued by a Samaritan, who provides him with compassionate care. This parable illustrates the commandment to "love your neighbor as yourself" and emphasizes that mercy, love, and compassion transcend social, religious, and ethnic boundaries. The Good Samaritan symbolizes Christ's own healing and redemptive love for humanity.

In Orthodox iconography, the Good Samaritan is often depicted caring for the wounded man, applying oil and wine to his wounds. The figures of the priest and Levite may be shown walking away, highlighting human indifference, while the innkeeper symbolizes hospitality and ongoing care. This icon conveys the Christian virtues of mercy, kindness, and selfless love, calling the faithful to embody these values in daily life.

This Orthodox icon of the Parable of the Good Samaritan can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface, making it a spiritually enriching addition to any prayer corner or sacred space. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's command to show compassion and the transformative power of loving one’s neighbor.
