Depiction Good Noted Physician Robes Pantaleon
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Mysterious Depiction of Saint Pantaleon in Bishop's Robes Saint Pantaleon, a renowned physician of the ancient world, is depicted in this image from the annals of history, clad in bishop's robes. The enigmatic representation challenges the commonly held belief of Saint Pantaleon as a healer and not a religious figure. Saint Pantaleon, also known as Panteleimon, was born around 305 AD in Nicomedia, Bithynia (present-day Turkey). He gained a reputation for his exceptional medical skills and dedicated himself to healing the sick and the poor, often using his personal wealth to fund his charitable works. His altruistic nature and commitment to the welfare of others earned him the admiration of the people and the ire of the Roman authorities. During the persecution of Christians under Emperor Maximian, Saint Pantaleon was arrested and sentenced to death. According to legend, he was miraculously healed from a fatal wound by an angel while in prison, and the governor was converted to Christianity upon witnessing the miracle. Saint Pantaleon was later released and continued his healing ministry until his death. Despite his noted works as a physician, this image of Saint Pantaleon in bishop's robes raises intriguing questions about his life and legacy. Some historians suggest that he may have been ordained as a bishop later in life, while others believe the depiction to be an artistic interpretation or an error. Regardless, the image serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of historical figures and the importance of continuing to explore their stories. This evocative print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating history of Saint Pantaleon and the enduring allure of the enigmatic figures of the past.
