Many researches, historical and religious resources referred to Nablus or (Shekem) as an important holy place, due to its contribution in a number of important historical events, such as the story of Jesus Christ with the Samaritan women at Jacob’s Well. This is a true evidence that the city enjoys a prominent and important status at both religious and historical levels.
Accordingly, such status of Nablus manifested itself in its social network and the reality of life where three religions’ followers; Moslems, Christians, and Samaritans, are peacefully co-existing, living in cohesion since hundreds of years, demonstrating a very unique case that rarely exists elsewhere. The three religions’ followers are very aware and sensitive to their responsibilities towards their city, working homogeneously for the cause of different issues of concern to their city and local citizens.
