St Pantaleon is regarded as one of the Holy Healers and patron saint of doctors. In Russia, St Pantaleon was also considered a patron saint of soldiers. He was born in Nicomedia, located in present-day Turkey, in circa 275. Pantaleon studied medicine with such great success that he was appointed as one of the court physicians to the Emperor Maximian.
