In the period July 26 – August 2, the head of St. Panteleimon, one of the most venerated saints in the Orthodox world, will be in Bulgaria. After his Christian baptism, St. Panteleimon acquired the gift of healing and miracle making, and after his martyrdom, physical and spiritual sufferings have often been cured with the help of the saint. The head of the saint is kept in the St. Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. It has been shown outside Greece only four times. In Bulgaria it arrives for the holiday of St. Panteleimon - July 27, at the request of Bulgarian Patriarch Neophyte. Even during the First Bulgarian State (681-1018), the veneration of St. Panteleimon was great. It is evidenced by two monasteries bearing its name - near Veliki Preslav and Ohrid, where medical schools and medical centers were also created.
