St. Panteleimon's Day celebrated at Holy Cross Monastery

(ROCOR-EAD) - When Holy Cross Monastery was founded and dedicated to the Exaltation of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross, the Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon was chosen as the monastery’s chief intercessor. Every morning, a moleben is served before the relics and icon of St. Panteleimon, for the healing of the sick and suffering. The monastery has often received help from St. Panteleimon, and zealously honors his memory.

On Monday the 8th and Tuesday the 9th of August, the rector of the monastery, His Grace George, Bishop of Mayfield, led the festive divine services in the monastery’s main church for the feast of the Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon. His Grace was co-served by clergy from local parishes.
