Symbolism and application of the item
The name „Healer“ carries the message that this icon heals spiritual and physical wounds. So why the great martyr Panteleimon was called the healer? Well, he was born in the city of Nicomedia. His mother was a Christian and she wanted to raise her son in Christian faith. But his father sent Pantoleon to a fine pagan school, after the completion of which, Panteleimon started to study medicine in Nicodemia. One time the youth saw upon a street a dead child, bitten by a viper, which was still alongside. Pantoleon began to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ for the resuscitation of the dead child and for the death of the venomous reptile. He firmly resolved, that if his prayer were fulfilled, he would become a follower of Christ and accept Baptism. The child revived, and the viper shattered into pieces before the eyes of Pantoleon. Soon he was baptized and got the name Panteleimon. After the death of his father, Saint Panteleimon dedicated his life to the suffering, the sick, the misfortunate and the needy. He treated without charge all those who turned to him, healing them in the Name of Jesus Christ. He visited that held captive in prison -- being usually Christians, who filled all the prisons, and he healed them of their wounds. In a short while accounts about the charitable physician spread throughout all the city. And forsaking the other doctors, the inhabitants began to turn only to Saint Panteleimon. But the other doctors became jealous. The envious doctors made a denunciation to the emperor, that Saint Panteleimon was healing Christian prisoners. Maximian urged the saint to disprove the denunciation and offer sacrifice to idols, but Saint Panteleimon confessed himself a Christian and right in front of the eyes of the emperor he healed a paralytic in the Name of Jesus Christ. The ferocious Maximian executed the healed man who was glorifying Jesus Christ and gave Saint Panteleimon over to fierce torture. The Lord appeared to the saint and strengthened him before his sufferings. The GreatMartyr Panteleimon is venerated in the Orthodox Church as a deals mighty saint, the protector of soldiers.
