Day memory Saint Panteleimon

Saint Panteleimon the Healer, Patron of Warriors9 августа день памяти Святого Великомученика Пантелеймона Целителя, а также День воинской славы России — День первой в российской истории морской победы русского флота под командованием Петра I над шведами у мыса Гангут в 1714 году.

Saint Panteleimon is also the patron saint of warriors, the relics of which the Grand Priory of Russia has acquired and preserved since 2011.

Battle of Sinop 1853The victory of 1714 formed the basis of the legend of the symbolism embedded in the sailor collar (guys) - a blue collar consisting of three white stripes superimposed on the edge. The collar reminds us of three battles in which our fleet was victorious. The first page commemorates the victory at the Battle of Gangut in 1714, the second about the Battle of Chesma in 1770, and the third in memory of the Battle of Sinop in 1853, a victory won by Admiral Nakhimov, whose descendant is one of the Grand Officers of the Grand Priory of Russia.

We consider this day significant and we are fully involved in it.
