1 Feast of the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon July 27 The Holy, Glorious, Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon Τοῦ Ἁγίου ἐνδόξου Μεγαλοµάρτυρος καί ἰαµατικοῦ Παντελεήµονος July 27 The Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon was born in the city of Nicomedia into the family of the illustrious pagan Eustorgios, and he was named Pantoleon. His mother Saint 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 Nikomedia under the renowned physician Euphrosynos. Pantoleon came to the attention of the emperor Maximian (AD ), who wished to appoint him as royal physician when he finished his schooling. The hieromartyrs Hermolaos, Hermippos and Hermokrates, survivors of the massacre of 20,000 Christians in AD 303, were living secretly in Nikomedia at that time. Saint Hermolaos 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 Saint Hermolaos every day. 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. After this miracle, Pantoleon was baptized by Saint Hermolaos with the name Panteleimon (meaning all-merciful ). Speaking with Eustorgios, Saint Panteleimon prepared him to accept Christianity. When the father saw how his son healed a blind man by invoking Jesus Christ, he then believed in Christ and was baptized by Saint Hermolaos together with the man whose sight was restored. After the death of his father, Saint 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 Saint Panteleimon. The envious doctors told the emperor that Saint Panteleimon was healing Christian prisoners. Maximian urged the saint to refute the charge by offering sacrifice to idols. Saint 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 Saint Panteleimon over to fierce torture. 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. At this time the priests Hermolaos, Hermippos and Hermokrates were brought before the court of the pagans. All three confessed their faith in the Savior and were beheaded (July 26). 1

2 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. 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 Saint 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. 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. Saint 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.

5 Idiomelon of the Great Martyr Tone Plagal 2 Byzantios Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. We celebrate today the revered memory of the Unmercenary one, with a sumptuous festival at which the faithful are invited to mystically participate, a holiday feast of love and affection celebrated in customary manner. Grant to us, O wonderworking physician, the prize of victory over our illnesses; and fervently intercede with the Lord, for the salvation of our souls. Theotokion Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen. Who will not bless you, all-holy Virgin? Who shall not praise your birth-giving free of pain? For the only-begotten Son coming timelessly from the Father has ineffably become incarnate within you, O pure one; He Who was God by nature became man by nature for our sake, not divided into two persons but known by two natures not mixed or confused. Plead with Him, O blessed one, for the salvation of our souls. Entrance O gladsome Light, and Prokeimenon of the day.

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of Himself; like gold in the furnace He tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering He accepted them. In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. Those who trust in Him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with Him in love, because grace and mercy are upon His elect, and He watches over His holy ones.

Shafts of lightning will fly with true aim, and will leap to the target as from a well-drawn bow of clouds, and hailstones full of wrath will be hurled as from a catapult; the water of the sea will rage against them, and rivers will relentlessly overwhelm them; a mighty wind will rise against them, and like a tempest it will winnow them away. Lawlessness will lay waste the whole earth, and evil-doing will overturn the thrones of rulers. Listen therefore, O kings, and understand; learn, O judges of the ends of the earth. Give ear, you that rule over multitudes, and boast of many nations. For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High.

Aposticha Prosomoia Stichera of the Great Martyr Tone 1 The heavenly orders O friends of the Martyrs, it is right to celebrate with hymns the memory of Panteleimon, that treasure of goodness; having imitated the compassion of Him Who is unequaled in mercy and love, he has received the grace of God. The righteous man shall flourish like a palm tree, and like a cedar in Lebanon he shall be multiplied. Εἶτα «Πληρώσωµεν τὴν ἑσπερινὴν δέησιν...,» καὶ Εὐχῆ τῆς Κεφαλοκλισίας.

You made all the punishments to which you were subjected seem as nothing, because of your love for Christ, Who glorified you in return. Idiomelon of the Great Martyr Tone Plagal 4 Byzantios Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Maternally you loved with piety, and paternally you despised ungodliness; you served as the physician of souls, teaching yourself to be a physician; and you were shown to be a healer, bestowing divine grace on both our bodily anguish and on our souls. As you showed strength in struggles, and were proven to be a steadfast intercessor, O Panteleimon, Martyr for Christ, fervently intercede with the Lord, for the salvation of our souls.

(Πάλιν) Ἔλεος Θεοῦ µιµούµενος, Παντελεήµων σαφῶς, ὠνοµάσθης κατάλληλον, προσλαβὼν τὸ ὄνοµα, καὶ συµβαῖνον τῷ πράγµατι ὡς συµπαθὴς γάρ, ἐλεεῖς ἅπαντας, διπλῆν παρέχων τούτοις τὴν ἴασιν, τρέφων ἰώµενος, καὶ πρὸς γνῶσιν, Ἔνδοξε, καθοδηγῶν, θείαν καὶ ὑπέρλαµπρον, Χριστοῦ πανόλβιε. Stichos 3 Στίχος γ Praise Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with strings and flute. What was bestowed upon you was clearly manifested as an act of providence from above. For having learned well to heal the ills of the body, O Panteleimon, you proved to be a willing physician of souls, healing all through grace and delivering all who come to you from the gloomy darkness of error. Αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν τυµπάνῳ καὶ χορῷ, αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν χορδαῖς καὶ ὀργάνῳ. Ἔργον προνοίας τῆς ἄνωθεν, τὸ ἐπὶ σοὶ γεγονός, τηλαυγῶς ἀναδέδεικται τῶν σωµάτων πάθη γάρ, θεραπεύειν σαφέστατα, Παντελεῆµον ἐκδιδασκόµενος, ψυχῶν ἐδείχθης ἰατρὸς ἕτοιµος, λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος, ἰατρεύων ἅπαντας, καὶ ζοφερᾶς, πλάνης ἐκλυτρούµενος, τοὺς σοὶ προστρέχοντας. Stichos 4 Στίχος δ Praise Him with tuneful cymbals; praise Him with cymbals of jubilation. Let every breath praise the Lord. In forthright manner O devout one, you exchanged the beauty of the body for the comeliness of the soul, and a goodly mind for the beauty of the flesh. Enlightened by faith and grace in the blossom of youth, you received the wisdom of one who is older, and amazed those who beheld you radiating marvels and wonders. Idiomelon of the Great Martyr Tone 4 Byzantios Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν κυµβάλοις εὐήχοις, αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν κυµβάλοις ἀλαλαγµοῦ.
