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 deprivation - Hermipp, Ermocrates and Yermolai. The latter then 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 was bitten by a viper. He sincerely believed in God and with his help repeatedly performed miracles of healing.
Envious people denounced Panteleimon before the emperor, and he betrayed him terrible torture. But when even predatory animals 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 Headed)
Saint Panteleimon is counted among the great martyrs who died for the faith. Born into a noble pagan family, he became a doctor. Saint Ermolai introduced him to the Christian faith. He talked about faith, then baptized Panteleimon. The reason for this was the healing through the prayers of a sick child bitten by a snake. After that, Panteleimon treated everyone free of charge. Upon learning of this, Emperor Maximilian argued that the doctor would not be able to cure a seriously ill patient. When Panteleimon won the argument, in Christian faith many pagans converted.
Panteleimon was executed by cutting off his head near an olive tree. At that moment, the olive was covered with fruits, and it was a real miracle. Panteleimon is considered the patron saint of warriors, revered as a healer. He received the nickname Headed cabbage due to the fact that at that time heads of cabbage began to tie, so the remains of last year's cabbage were taken out of the cellars and added - they cooked cabbage soup, baked pies and made salads. On this day people go for herbs and mushrooms. The day is considered unlucky for work.
August 9th in history
No one could even imagine that in a matter of minutes the hands on the clock of the whole city would stop. The sky over Nagasaki lit up with a giant flash, a huge mushroom shot up into the sky and destroyed buildings, scorched clothes, melted glass. At 11:02 a.m., the city falls silent for a minute in memory of the victims of the atomic bomb. This sad date is celebrated by residents of the city, representatives of the authorities. Also present is a delegation from another stricken city, Hiroshima, which experienced the horror of the atomic bombing three days earlier, on August 6, 1945.
The reason for such events was rumors: Tsar Peter 1 is going to issue a Decree that Russian girls will be forbidden to marry Russian guys. Marriages were commanded only with the Germans sent from Kazan. During weddings, the youth began a real massacre of foreigners, which grew into an uprising.
In addition, the inhabitants were unhappy with the order to wear foreign dresses and shave their beards, and this had to be controlled by the authorities. The local governor Timofey Rzhevsky was especially distinguished. The uprising grew, at first the inhabitants sent a petition to the tsar with a complaint, then they began to kill the military, governor, and nobles. It was suppressed with the help of the Cossacks, who not only did not support the uprising, but also helped the government troops with their detachments.
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 made by naval artillery and aviation, the enemy was defeated on the Trans-Baikal Front, freeing the approaches to Manchuria. Massive airborne assaults were also landed. As a result, Japanese troops began to surrender en masse. As a result of the defeat of the Kwantung Army, Japan capitulated, and the second World War was finished.
