Although her name is not spoken of in The Bible (John 4), she is traditionally called "Photini', which literally means "the enlightened one." Because of the crucial role she plays in the conversion of her Samaritan village (and perhaps, even most of Samaria), she is given a place of honor in the Church in general, and in the Orthodox faith specifically.

She was a women who had come to draw water from Jacob's Well. [John 4:7] Her name is not known but Jesus told her she was living in the sin of adultery which she already knew. [John 4:18] This meeting was a little remarkable because the Jews did not usually associate with Samaians. [John 4:9]

We aren't told her name. But we are told that she was a Samaritan. At that point in time Jews did not talk to Samaritans. But Jesus being Jesus, he talked to her. There are several unique things about this passage. The fact that Jesus talked to a Samaritan woman shocked his disciples but none of them had the nerve to confront him. This scripture shows us that God knows everything and no sin can be hidden from him. (Her adulterous relationships)

Jesus told her that he was the Messiah.

She was a woman that needed to straighten out her life and she told others in her village about Jesus being the Messiah. This gave Jesus a chance to tell the villagers about the Good News. This also showed that the Messiah was not for the Jews only.

At a well.

  • Joh 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
  • Joh 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

There was more than one instance of the woman at the well in the bible. Rebekah was one (Genesis 24: another was The daughters of Reuel, of which Zipporah was one (Exodus 2:) , and then the Samaritan woman who met Jesus by the well, we are not given her name (John 4:).

At the Parable of the Good Samaritan; it is told by Jesus in order to illustrate that compassion should be for all people, and that fulfilling the spirit of the Law is just as important as fulfilling the letter of the Law.
