God forgive me for rushing this icon even tho I believe it turned out aokay. My spiritual father specifically told me that these icons take hours and days to make, but I wanted to make one for the time when my grandma was sick. She was sick and she sometimes can be stubborn like a donkey and she didn't wanna go to the doctor. After I gave her the icon of Saint Panteleimon she did end up going to the doctor and is now healthy... Somewhat...

Pantaleon (his civil name) was the son of a rich pagan man and had been instructed in Christianity by his Christian mother, Saint Eubula. Later on after her death he fell away from the faith and studied medicine and became the physician of the Emperor (Maxim)

Saint Hermolaus convinced Pantaleon that Christ was the greatest Physician and Pantaleon came back to Christianity. Miraculously Pantaleon healed a blind man by invoking the name of Christ which made his father convert to Christianity. After his father's death he inherited his wealth and donated it all to those in need and also freed his father's slaves.

Envious colleagues denounced him to the emperor and even tho the wanted to save his physician. Pantaleon confessed his faith that Christ is the true God and healed a paralytic which got him condemned because they believed it to be magic. They wanted to execute him, at first by fire with torches but Christ appeared in the form of Hermolaus and healed Pantaleon and the torches were extinguished. Then they wanted to put him into a bath of molten lead, but an apparition of Christ stepped into the Cauldron and fire was extinguished below it. They threw him into the sea with a stone, but the stone floated. Thrown to wild beasts which fawned upon him and couldn't be forced away until he blessed them. He was bound to a wheel, but the ropes snapped snd the wheel broke. Finally they wanted to behead him with a swird but the sword bent and the executioners converted to Christianity.

Later on he got the name Pantaleimon and was beheaded in Nicomedia on the day of July 27th which is his feast day.

Meh, I know this ain't all that much of an impressive icon, but an icon non the less. No reference, y'all just gotta take my word for it. May God bless you all and the Holiest Theotokos keep y'all in her prayers.☦

Saint Panteleimon great martyr and healer, a friend of Christ pray for us so that we may remain healthy and keep us by your prayers away from sickness of the body and of the soul.
