Saint Pantaleon the Healer Icon Pendant

Saint Pantaleon the Healer Icon Pendant

Saint Panteleimon, a court physician, held a high position but chose a life of humility and devoted himself to healing the sick and helping those in need without payment. He is renowned for miraculous healings, including bringing a boy back to life after a snake bite.

Saint Panteleimon is venerated as a heavenly healer of both physical and spiritual ailments. The back of the miniature icon depicts Golgotha — the Cross of Christ with the instruments of the Passion and the holy name of the Lord. According to Church canons, this icon can be worn as a spiritual symbol in place of a cross.
