National Good Samaritan Day is celebrated on March 13 each year in the United States to promote kindness and selflessness among individuals. The day draws its name from a Biblical parable in which a Samaritan helps an injured man, emphasizing the importance of compassion and helping others regardless of differences. It also commemorates the tragic death of Catherine Genovese, who was murdered in New York, highlighting the need for intervention in times of crisis. Observers are encouraged to reflect on their responsibilities to assist others and to act as "their brother's keeper." The holiday serves as a reminder to engage in acts of kindness and support those in need.
