Description
Antiqued Lithograph of Saint Panteleimon
An exact replica of the original image crafted on natural fir wood. This beautiful antiqued lithograph depicts Saint Panteleimon, who was born in Nicomedia, Asia Minor. The reason for his martyrdom was a miracle he performed. Specifically, he healed a blind man, who reported the event to the king, even stating that after his healing, he himself believed in God. The king ordered the decapitation of the healed blind man and summoned Panteleimon.
Saint Panteleimon was brought before the king, who ordered him to be tortured to renounce his faith. However, he did not yield, as the Lord appeared to him to give him courage. In the end, the king ordered his beheading. According to tradition, no blood flowed from his wounds, but milk, and the olive tree where he was bound suddenly bore fruit.
