Supplicatory Canon and Akathist to Saint Panteleimon the Great Martyr

Meer over het boek

The narrative centers on a Saint from Nicomedia, born to an idolater father and a Christian mother. Influenced by his mother's faith, he was educated in Christianity and baptized by Saint Hermolaus. As a skilled physician, he dedicated his life to healing others, relying more on divine grace than on traditional medicine. His compassionate nature led to his renaming from Pantoleon, meaning "in all things a lion," to Panteleimon, which signifies "all-merciful," reflecting his commitment to helping those in need.
