Panteleimon was born in the second half of the 4th century and lived on the territory of the modern Turkish state. His father was a noble pagan nobleman, and his mother, who secretly professed Christianity, died very early.

The boy was sent to a school for pagans, and then studied medicine with a noble doctor. He was distinguished by his beauty, prudence and eloquence, which helped him become a doctor at the imperial court.

But his life was changed by a meeting with three Christians who had gone through a difficult path of persecution and hardship - Hermippos, Hermocrates and Ermolai. The latter later baptized Panteleimon and became his spiritual mentor.

Before being baptized, Panteleimon experienced the power of sincere prayer, with the help of which he was able to resurrect a boy who had been bitten by an echidna. He sincerely believed in God and with his help repeatedly showed miracles of healing.

Envious people exposed Panteleimon before the emperor, and he betrayed him terrible torture. But when even wild beasts could not harm the tirelessly praying martyr, many pagans believed in God, and they were all executed along with Panteleimon.

Memorial Day of Panteleimon the Healer, (Panteleimon Kochanny)

Saint Panteleimon was numbered among the great martyrs who died for the faith. Born into the family of a noble pagan, he became a doctor. Saint Hermolai introduced him to the Christian faith. He talked about faith, then baptized Panteleimon. The reason for this was the healing through prayers of a sick child bitten by a snake. After that, Panteleimon treated everyone free of charge. Having learned about this, Emperor Maximilian bet that the doctor would not be able to cure the seriously ill patient. When Panteleimon won the argument, many pagans converted to the Christian faith.

Panteleimon was executed by cutting off his head near an olive tree. At that moment, the olive tree was covered with fruits, and it was a real miracle. Panteleimon is considered the patron saint of warriors and is revered as a healer. He received the nickname Headed Cabbage due to the fact that at this time the heads of cabbage began to set, so they took out the remains of last year's cabbage from the cellars and added it - they cooked cabbage soup, baked pies and made salads. On this day they go for herbs and mushrooms. The day is considered unlucky for work.

Also present is a delegation from another affected city, Hiroshima, which experienced horror atomic bombing three days earlier - August 6, 1945.

The reason for such events was rumors: Tsar Peter 1 was going to issue a Decree that Russian girls would be prohibited from marrying Russian guys. Marriages were ordered only with Germans sent from Kazan. During the weddings, the youth began a real massacre of foreigners, which developed into an uprising.

In addition, residents were unhappy with the order to wear foreign dresses and shave their beards, and this should have been controlled by the authorities. The local governor Timofey Rzhevsky was especially distinguished. The uprising grew, at first the residents sent a petition to the king with a complaint, then they began to kill the military, governors, and nobles. It was suppressed with the help of the Cossacks, who not only did not support the uprising, but also helped government troops with their troops.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War Russia sent its troops to the war with Japan in order to eliminate aggression and the economic base on the Asian continent. The operation was carried out in different directions, strikes were carried out by naval artillery and aviation, and the enemy was defeated on the Trans-Baikal Front, freeing the approaches to Manchuria. Massive airborne assaults were also launched. As a result Japanese troops began to surrender en masse.
