Iconography and Symbolism
The Saint Panteleimon Icon (Greek: Ἅγιος Παντελεήμων, meaning “All-Merciful”) depicts the holy physician holding a small medicine box and a cross, representing both physical healing and the spiritual care of souls. Born in Nicomedia, Saint Panteleimon devoted his life to healing the sick and helping the poor, offering his services freely in the name of Christ.
He was martyred in the 4th century during the persecutions of Emperor Maximian for confessing his Christian faith. Miracles of healing continue to be attributed to his intercession, and he remains one of the most beloved healer-saints in the Orthodox world. The gold background represents divine mercy and the light of eternal life that flows through his compassion.
