SAINT PANTELEIMON

The most important thing about Saint Panteleimon is his role as the "Perfect mediator between divine grace and human infirmity." Although he was a highly trained physician at the imperial court, he realized that the true power of healing comes through invoking the name of Christ. Theologically, he represents fearless witnessing of the truth, remaining faithful to his calling and faith despite horrific tortures. In Serbian tradition, Pantelindan is celebrated as a major feast, and it is believed that he especially watches over the harvest and orchards, as well as every sick person who turns to him.

Most importantly, the icon of Saint Panteleimon in the home represents the presence of a celestial physician who never sleeps. He teaches us that physical health begins with spiritual balance. His image in the home is a constant reminder to be "all-merciful" toward our neighbors, thereby inviting the peace and security that only a wonderworking saint can provide.
