But you, having been brought again before the Emperor, sang triumphantly to Christ our God: Alleluia!

But we, filled with wonder, cry to you: Rejoice, joyful sight of angels! Rejoice, reverent wonder of men! Rejoice, you who shed your blood for Christ, and in death shed milk! Rejoice, you who gave up your body to a martyr’s death for His sake! Rejoice, model of confession! Rejoice, valiant warrior of the King of kings! Rejoice, you who conquered the ruler of darkness!

For the power of Christ subdued the fierceness of the beasts and the frightful wheel, on which your body was turned, immediately broke to pieces. So to you, invincible passion-bearer, we cry: Rejoice, precious chosen one of Christ! Rejoice, unblemished fragrance of God! Rejoice, firm diamond of the Church!

Святой Пантелеймон (Пантелеимон), часто называемый "Пантелеймон-целитель", родился в 3-м веке в городе Никомедия (ныне Измит, Турция) в семье знатного язычника и был назван Пантолеоном. Мать Пантолеона была христианкой, однако она рано умерла и не успела воспитать сына в христианской вере. Пантолеон был отдан отцом в языческую школу, после окончания которой он стал учиться врачебному искусству у знаменитого врача Евфросина и стал известен императору Максимиану, который захотел видеть его при своем дворе. Живший в Никодимее святой Ермолай рассказал Пантолеону о христианстве. Как-то раз юноша увидел на улице мертвого ребенка, укушенного змеёй, которая еще была рядом. Пантолеон начал молиться Христу о воскрешении умершего и умерщвлении ядовитого гада. Он твердо решил, что в случае исполнения его молитвы примет крещение. Ребенок ожил, а змея разлетелась на куски на глазах у Пантолеона. Святой Ермолай крестил Пантолеона под именем Пантелеимон - "всемилостивый" (именно написание "Пантелеимон" является каноническим в православии, вариант имени с "й" является мирским вариантом этого имени). Отец Пантелеймона, увидев, как тот исцелил слепца, тоже принял крещение. Беседа святого Пантелеймона и святого Ермолая Святой Пантелеймон посвятил жизнь излечению больных, в том числе узников, среди которых были и христиане. Слава о чудесном враче, не бравшем денег за лечение, распространилась по всему городу и остальные врачи остались без работы. Озлобленные врачи донесли императору о том, что Пантелеймон лечит христианских узников. Император Максимиан требовал от Пантелеймона отречься от своей веры и принести жертву идолам. Святой предложил императору призвать одного неизлечимого больного и устроить испытание, кто исцелит его: он или языческие жрецы. Языческие жрецы не смогли исцелить больного, а Пантелеймон силой молитвы даровал больному исцеление, доказав истинной христианской веры и ложность язычества.

St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr and Unmercenary Healer of Christ (source) Note: The following is my amateur translation of the first canon (in the first tone) in a series of eight canons in the eight tones written by St. Joseph the hymnographer to honor the great martyr and healer of Christ, St. Panteleimon. These are very beautiful and compunctionate hymns, and rightly praise such a great wonderworker of Orthodoxy. For the full texts of the canons in Greek, see here. If I am not mistaken, these are used around the feast of the Saint (i.e. either in the days leading up to or following his feast) in the his Monastery on Mount Athos to more fully celebrate this great feast, the feast of the Russian Monastery of the Holy Mountain. May St. Panteleimon intercede for us all, and grant us healing of the passions of our souls and bodies! Amen! Canons in the Eight Tones to St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr and Unmercenary Written by St. Joseph the Hymnographer (+883AD) First Tone The acrostic reads: A hymn of Joseph. Ode I Ever standing with boldness before the throne of grace, O blessed Champion, send down upon us forgiveness of sins, and intercede with Christ. You endured tortures, O Panteleimon, being aflame with divine eros for the Master. Entreat Him that He deliver us from every danger. Coming to know the Creator, you called upon Him, and thereby raised a dead man, O chosen-one of God, therefore I cry out to you, bring to life my deadened soul through your prayers. Theotokion You bore the Master and King of all creation, O All-holy Lady, ever entreat that we be granted the Kingdom of God. Ode III With strength, O Martyr of our God, you were steadfast through the scrapings of your flesh, and the blazing fire, for His love, and you endured the terrible burning by flames. Having been bruised by beatings, and greatly broken, the Redeemer appeared to you to strengthen you, O glorious one. Entreat Him that He enlighten our minds. Being a lamp full of the light of the divine radiance of healings, you shine for those who are in the night of sicknesses, and you cast out the mist of the demons, O Saint worthy to be praised. Theotokion After giving birth, you remained incorrupted as you were before birthgiving, O All-hymned One, entreat the Creator for all, that we delivered in body and nous through your motherly intercessions. Ode IV Having been illumined in mind, you have passed through fire, and have found rest through the refreshment of grace, O Panteleimon, and therefore you ever pour forth the streams of wonders, and you cease the fire of illnesses through the power of the Spirit. You endured the raking of your flesh, O wise one, and having been boiled, you remained safe and unharmed through godly refreshment, O blessed one. Therefore, we cry out to you, deliver us from every danger through your prayers, O all-praised one. The terrible foe was unable to storm the tower of your divine soul, O Panteleimon, but as if another were suffering, you were steadfast amidst the waves, being founded upon the grace of God. Theotokion You were shown to be a palace and a throne of God, and a Dwelling-place, and a noetic Gate, through which we have beheld the only Logos pass through ineffably, O Birthgiver of God, saving manking through You. Ode V Your body was placed within the earth, O Saint, and thereby sanctified it. But entreat the Surpassing Good One, that we who bless you in your holy temple might be sanctified. The heavenly army clapped its hands at your martyrdom, together with which we entreat that we be granted, O Panteleimon, grace and mercy and correction in life. Enlighten my lamp that has been quenched, through your prayers and intercessions, O Panteleimon blessed by God, that I might ever bless you as my protector. Theotokion We praise You with divine hymnology, O Spotless Lady, and we entreat that You ever protect and deliver from every danger and darkness, through Your intercessions. Ode VI You gave the light of spiritual light as did Christ to the man born blind, O all-praised one, the boast of Martyrs. Let us offer to God a hymn of thanksgiving, for you deliver from the depths, and angelically save through your visitation, O all-praised one, that I might honor you. Deliver us, O all-praised Panteleimon, from the soul-corrupting passions, from evils of men, from the waves of thoughts and from the fire of Gehenna. Theotokion As one truly fair and beautiful among women, you conceived the Beautiful One in your womb for all mortals, and you gave birth, O Pure One, in a manner surpassing words. Ode VII Rejoicing in soul, O glorious one, you bore trials and the terrible wheels, from which God paradoxically saved you, as a confirmation to the faithful who beheld your good and manly feats. On behalf of Christ, you were cast unto the beasts, but remained unharmed, O Panteleimon, but earnestly entreat on behalf of us, O Martyr, that we be delivered from the evil foes that tempt us. You became a keeper of the commandments of Christ, O Martyr, speaking to those in prisons, and dangers and all forms of pain. Therefore you were granted the grace to heal the passions of our souls and bodies. Theotokion You who transported us from earth to heaven, and appeared as a mystical ladder, You are the pure and blessed Theotokos. Therefore, we hymn Your great deeds, O Pure One, unto the ages. Ode VIII You dawned like the sun at dawn, O wise one, enlightening the ends of the earth with mystical rays, and truly dissolving the darkness of idol-mania, O blessed Panteleimon. Having been bound, you dissolved the error of the enemy by your grace. Therefore I entreat you to dissolve, through your prayers, my many evils, through your intercessions, O wise Panteleimon. You were taken up as in a chariot, by your sacred blood, to stand beside Christ, rejoicing, and received the crown of incorruption, O Panteleimon, the comeliness of Martyrs. Theotokion Heal our brokenness, for you truly gave birth to the Physician of all, O All-pure One. Therefore we bless you together, with rejoicing of soul, O Birthgiver of God. Ode IX Your appearance was made handsome by your holy martyrdom, O Martyr Panteleimon, and you stand beside the King of the Heavens full of beauty, and you partake of divine light, and ceaselessly intercede on behalf of us. You, O steadfast of heart, traveled the paths of martyrdom unflinchingly, O Champion Panteleimon, and were beheaded on an olive tree, and was reborn, O all-joyous one, as a compassionate and merciful healer of every sickness, in Christ. You blossomed as a fragrant rose in the field through your struggles, and gave the fragrance to the earth of the fragrance of your wonders. Therefore we cry out to you, O wise one, deliver us from our passions, through your intercessions, taking away every stench and terrible thing. Theotokion Being in a frenzy of sins, and endless wrath, I am hearding towards worse things, but lift me up, O greatly-merciful God, through the intercessions of Your Spotless Mother, that I might partake of eternal life.

St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr and Unmercenary (source) Homily II on St. Panteleimon by Metropolitan Avgoustinos Kantiotes: "A Lesson of Love" "This I command you, to love one another." (John 15:17) St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr and Unmercenary (source) "The feast of a martyr is to imitate the martyr." [Quote of St. John Chrysostom] The stars, my beloved, are not only contained in heaven, but our Church has its own, and the stars of the Church are the Saints (Martyrs, Confessors, Venerable Saints, Teachers and Fathers). The stars illumine heaven, but the noetic firmament of the Church is also illumined by the noetic stars, the Saints. They shine with their life, their virtues, their wonders. And like in heaven "star differs from star according to its radiance" (I Corinthians 15:41), thus among the Saints there are differences. One star of great prominence is today's Saint, the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon. Let's take courage to utter a few words, weaving a humble encomium to his memory. Read more »
Icon of St. Panteleimon the Great-Martyr and Unmercenary - Commemorated on July 27 (with scenes from his life) - St. Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai - 13th Century (source) "The Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon was born in the city of Nicomedia into the family of the illustrious pagan Eustorgius, and he was named Pantoleon. His mother St Euboula (March 30) was a Christian. She wanted to raise her son in the Christian Faith, but she died when the future martyr was just a young child. His father sent Pantoleon to a pagan school, after which the young man studied medicine at Nicomedia under the renowned physician Euphrosynus. Pantoleon came to the attention of the emperor Maximian (284-305), who wished to appoint him as royal physician when he finished his schooling. The nativity of St. Panteleimon to St. Euvoule (source) Icon depicting Sts. Euboule (the mother of St. Panteleimon - March 30th), Panteleimon and Hermolaos (source) The hieromartyrs Hermolaus, Hermippus and Hermocrates, survivors of the massacre of 20,000 Christians in 303 (December 28), were living secretly in Nicomedia at that time. St Hermolaus saw Pantoleon time and again when he came to the house where they were hiding. Once, the priest invited the youth to the house and spoke about the Christian Faith. After this Pantoleon visited St Hermolaus every day. Sts. Panteleimon and Hermolaos (source) St. Panteleimon and his teacher, St. Hermolaos (source) Icon of St. Hermolaos, the Hieromartyr and Unmercenary (source) One day the saint found a dead child on the street. He had been bitten by a great snake, which was still beside the child's body. Pantoleon began to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ to revive the dead child and to destroy the venomous reptile. He firmly resolved that if his prayer were fulfilled, he would become a follower of Christ and receive Baptism. The child rose up alive, and the snake died before Pantoleon's eyes. St. Panteleimon praying, and resurrecting the child bitten by the snake (source) After this miracle, Pantoleon was baptized by St Hermolaus with the name Panteleimon (meaning "all-merciful"). Speaking with Eustorgius, St Panteleimon prepared him to accept Christianity. Christ blessing Sts. Panteleimon and Hermolaos, along with Archangels Michael and Gabriel, Sts. Kosmas and Damian, and Sts. Cyrus and John (http://ia600102.us.archive.org/13/items/Icoane/07260727SfMcErmolaeSiPantelimon.jpg) [On one occasion, when he restored the sight of a certain blind man by calling on the Divine Name, he enlightened also the eyes of this man's soul to the knowledge of the truth. This also became the cause for the martyrdom of him who had been blind, since when he was asked by whom and in what manner his eyes had been opened, in imitation of that blind man of the Gospel he confessed with boldness both who the physician was and the manner of his healing. For this he was put to death immediately. [This blind man, who was healed by St. Panteleimon and who confessed Christ and accepted martyrdom, is also commemorated on July 27th] (taken from: http://goarch.org/chapel/saints_view?contentid=143)] When the father saw how his son healed a blind man by invoking Jesus Christ, he then believed in Christ and was baptized by St Hermolaus together with the man whose sight was restored. St. Panteleimon healing the blind man (source) After the death of his father, St Panteleimon dedicated his life to the suffering, the sick, the unfortunate and the needy. He treated all those who turned to him without charge, healing them in the name of Jesus Christ. He visited those held captive in prison. These were usually Christians, and he healed them of their wounds. In a short time, reports of the charitable physician spread throughout the city. Forsaking the other doctors, the inhabitants began to turn only to St Panteleimon. St. Panteleimon, with scenes from his life (source) The envious doctors told the emperor that St Panteleimon was healing Christian prisoners. Maximian urged the saint to refute the charge by offering sacrifice to idols. St Panteleimon confessed himself a Christian, and suggested that a sick person, for whom the doctors held out no hope, should be brought before the emperor. Then the doctors could invoke their gods, and Panteleimon would pray to his God to heal the man. A man paralyzed for many years was brought in, and pagan priests who knew the art of medicine invoked their gods without success. Then, before the very eyes of the emperor, the saint healed the paralytic by calling on the name of Jesus Christ. The ferocious Maximian executed the healed man, and gave St Panteleimon over to fierce torture. St. Panteleimon being tortured, and Christ appearing to strengthen him, in the form of his teacher, St. Hermolaos (source) The Lord appeared to the saint and strengthened him before his sufferings. They suspended the Great Martyr Panteleimon from a tree and scraped him with iron hooks, burned him with fire and then stretched him on the rack, threw him into a cauldron of boiling tar, and cast him into the sea with a stone around his neck. Throughout these tortures the martyr remained unhurt, and denounced the emperor. Icon of St. Panteleimon with scenes from his life (source) At this time the priests Hermolaus, Hermippus and Hermocrates were brought before the court of the pagans. All three confessed their faith in the Savior and were beheaded (July 26). By order of the emperor they brought the Great Martyr Panteleimon to the circus to be devoured by wild beasts. The animals, however, came up to him and licked his feet. The spectators began to shout, "Great is the God of the Christians!" The enraged Maximian ordered the soldiers to stab with the sword anyone who glorified Christ, and to cut off the head of the Great Martyr Panteleimon. They led the saint to the place of execution and tied him to an olive tree. While the martyr prayed, one of the soldiers struck him with a sword, but the sword became soft like wax and inflicted no wound. The saint completed his prayer, and a Voice was heard from Heaven, calling the passion-bearer by his new name and summoning him to the heavenly Kingdom. Miraculous icon of St. Panteleimon with scenes from his life, from his Monastery on Mount Athos (source) [Another account: "As the soldier raised his sword to behead the Saint, the sword melted as if it were made of wax. The soldiers fell to their knees and admitted their beliefs in Christ. The Saint prayed for them and forgave them for their sins. A voice came from heaven, saying to Pantoleonta that all he had asked for had been granted and that from this time on he would he known not as Pantoleonta, but as Panteleimon (All-merciful)." (source)] Hearing the Voice, the soldiers fell down on their knees before the holy martyr and begged forgiveness. They refused to continue with the execution, but St Panteleimon told them to fulfill the emperor's command, because otherwise they would have no share with him in the future life. The soldiers tearfully took their leave of the saint with a kiss. Icon of Sts. George and Panteleimon the Great-martyrs, holding their sacred heads as symbols of their martyrdom for Christ. (The one scroll roughly reads: "Behold our heads cut off for You", while the other, "I see you O Martyrs, and bestow on you crowns.") "Saint Panteleimon is one of the Holy Unmercenaries, and is held in special honor among them, even as Saint George is among the Martyrs." (source) (Icon courtesy of www.eikonografos.com used with permission) When the saint was beheaded, the olive tree to which the saint was tied became covered with fruit. Many who were present at the execution believed in Christ. The saint's body was thrown into a fire, but remained unharmed, and was buried by Christians . St Panteleimon's servants Laurence, Bassos and Probus witnessed his execution and heard the Voice from Heaven. They recorded the life, the sufferings and death of the saint. The Dormition of St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr (source) Portions of the holy relics of the Great Martyr Panteleimon were distributed throughout all the Christian world [including the Shrine of St. Paraskevi Greenlawn, NY, the Chapel of St. Panteleimon in St. Anthony's Monastery, Arizona, Vatopedi and Philotheou Monastery, St. Panteleimon's Skete, Mount Athos, Putna Monastery and Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Romania, and many other places]. His venerable head is now located at the Russian monastery of St Panteleimon on Mt. Athos [while another portion is in Panachrantos Monastery on Andros]. Icon of St. Panteleimon the Great-Martyr, and a portion of his sacred Skull, treasured in Panachrantos Monastery, Andros, Greece (source) Close-up of the miraculous, myrrh-streaming portion of the Holy Skull of St. Panteleimon, treasured by Panachrantou Monastery, Athos (source) The veneration of the holy martyr in the Russian Orthodox Church was already known in the twelfth century. Prince Izyaslav ( in Baptism Panteleimon), the son of St Mstislav the Great, had an image of St Panteleimon on his helmet. Through the intercession of the saint he remained alive during a battle in the year 1151. On the Feast of the Great Martyr Panteleimon, Russian forces won two naval victories over the Swedes (in 1714 near Hanhauze and in 1720 near Grenham). St. Panteleimon with scenes from his life (source) St Panteleimon is venerated in the Orthodox Church as a mighty saint, and the protector of soldiers. This aspect of his veneration is derived from his first name Pantoleon, which means "a lion in everything". His second name, Panteleimon, given him at Baptism, which means "all-merciful", is manifest in the veneration of the martyr as a healer. The connection between these two aspects of the saint is readily apparent in that soldiers, receiving wounds more frequently than others, are more in need of a physician-healer. Christians waging spiritual warfare also have recourse to this saint, asking him to heal their spiritual wounds. The holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon is invoked in the Mystery of Anointing the Sick, at the Blessing of Water, and in the Prayers for the Sick. Picture of the Holy Monastery of St. Panteleimon, Mount Athos (source) The Feast of the holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon is the patronal Feast of the Russian monastery on Athos. The forefeast starts eight days before the Feast. Each day after Vespers, Moliebens are sung with Canons in each of the eight tones. Thus, each day has its own particular Canon. The second day of the Feast is the monastery feastday. On this day a general Panikhida is served after Vespers in memory of the founders and benefactors of the monastery, and kollyva (kutia: wheat or rice boiled with honey) is blessed and distributed. The verses of the Ninth Ode of the Canon of the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon from the manuscript of the Athonite service are reprinted in the "Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate" (1975, No.3, pp. 45-47)." (source) Miraculous icon of St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr from the Skete of the Saint (Koutloumousiou, Mount Athos); after the Saint appeared to St. Paisios of the Holy Mountain, the Elder related that he looked very similar to his appearance in this icon (source) St. Panteleimon continues to work many miracles and grant many blessings on many throughout the world. He was especially dear to many of the Saints of our Church. See the following pages which discuss appearances and healings of St. Panteleimon to St. Nicholas Planas, Elder Joseph of Vatopedi, Elder Paisios and a Monk Daniel of the Kalyve of St. John Chrysostom of Koutloumousiou.

At the following link is a recording (in Greek) of Fr. Evdokimos, the Abbot of Panachrantou Monastery, Andros which treasures part of the Skull of St. Panteleimon. He discusses various spiritual topics, as well as miracles that have occurred through St. Panteleimon: http://apantaortodoxias.blogspot.com/2009/11/blog-post_8436.html. It is interesting to note that at first Fr. Evdokimos was uneasy hearing that the Skull of St. Panteleimon was on Andros as he had previously venerated it on Mount Athos. However, the Saint appeared to him and reassuringly showed him the part of his Skull which was on Mount Athos, and the other part, including some of his teeth, which was at Panachrantou Monastery of Andros. Fr. Evdokimos sought permission to open the Saint's reliquary, and confirmed that it was the same portion that the Saint had revealed to him in a dream.

A tabernacle with a reliquary and icons. Size: 260×260 mm, 510 mm high. Weight: 3.4 kg. This tabernacle comes with a set of four icons: Christ the Pantocrator, Our Lady of Kazan, St Nicholas the Wonderworker, and St Panteleimon. It takes about 1 month to fulfill this order.
By Monk Patapios Mr. Jannis Zinniker, born in 1943, from the age of 20 would come from Switzerland to Athos. He loved it so much that he would stay there each year for a good amount of time. His favorite place always was Kavsokalyva at the Brotherhood of Joasaph with the elders John and Anthony. He was a Protestant, and desired to know the truth near simple and sincere monks and to thus be made worthy for divine Baptism (which took place in the winter of 1977, at the Sacred Monastery of Stavronikita, which was then under the abbot Fr. Vasilios). As he himself narrated to us, in 1974, after an extended stay at Kavsokalyva, as usual, he had to return to his homeland. Because of a storm, the only way out for him was through Kerasia, and with much difficulty and effort he arrived exhausted at the fountain by the wayside of the Cell of Saint Demetrios, of the so-called Hatzi-George. He saw smoke coming from the Cell, and as he approached the old door creaked open and he was received by the old man Symeon. With much joy the old man offered him a treat with some raki from cherries. When he lay down on the makeshift wooden bed to rest, he fell asleep immediately. While he was sleeping there appeared before him a revered hunched old man with a stick in his hand and he happily welcomed him. Immediately he woke up with joy and told the old man Symeon what he saw. The old man took an icon from the wall and said to him: "Perhaps it is him?" Mr. Jannis marveled, because it was exactly as he had seen in the vision. "This is the famous Hatzi-George, the Elder of this Cell," said the old man Symeon, and in a few words told him who Hatzi-George was. He departed the Cell with many thanks and was filled with joy and hope for Orthodoxy, which he later embraced. At this point it is worth mentioning a miracle from an icon of Saint Panteleimon. In July of 1994 Mr. Jannis Zinniker commissioned from us an icon of Saint Panteleimon with 32X22 dimensions, to be sent far away to his home in Switzerland and placed in an icon-corner in his home together with the other icons. In the winter of 1998 a loved one of his fell very heavily ill and with much pain of heart he turned to the Orthodox Church and the power of Her saints. The circumstance of the illness was very severe, colon cancer, and surgery had to be done with uncertain results. With much hesitation he asked the doctors if he could place his icon of Saint Panteleimon in the surgery room during the time of surgery. And while he waited for a negative response, the doctors happily received it. The surgery had excellent results, which caused the doctors to wonder, for as they stated, these results could only have taken place by divine intervention. The patient is currently enjoying good health, thanking God before the image of Saint Panteleimon, which he asked for from Mr. Jannis in order to have as an inalienable heirloom. And so Mr. Jannis, on 17 January 1999, visited the Hut of Saint Panteleimon, and he placed an order for us to paint him a new icon of the Saint in order to put it where the previous one was.
