Panteleimon monastery

Panteleimon monastery, Orthodox monastery in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia.

Panteleimon Monastery occupies the top of Sopka Svyazi, where a 1885 chapel dedicated to Saints Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and their mother Sophia once housed a radio communications centre. The monastery church, consecrated in 2008, stands beside a two-storey 15 by 15 metre brotherhood building completed in 2012. A 14-metre chapel honouring dead sailors and fishermen was begun in 2008, and construction of the 38-metre Kamchatka Naval Cathedral of Archangel Michael began on the same hill in 2013.

In 2000, with the blessing of Bishop Ignatius (Pologrudov), the first monks settled in a private house in the Seroglazka district. In 2002 the city handed the community a plot on Sopka Svyazi with the 1885 church of Saints Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia, long used as a radio communications centre. Two novices took monastic vows on Mount Athos in 2004, and on 7 January 2007 the Holy Synod decreed the monastery's establishment, with hieromonk Anthony (Zhukov) as abbot.

The monastery is dedicated to Saint Panteleimon the Healer, a name suggested by monks on Mount Athos, where two of its first brothers took monastic vows in 2004. A copy of the icon of the Mother of God "The Inexhaustible Cup", given to the monastery in 2009, began to stream myrrh on 30 May 2012; a commission of clergy confirmed the event. The monastery also runs a Sunday school and a skete in the settlement of Termalny.

The monastery stands on Sopka Svyazi hill above Avacha Bay, on the site of an 1885 chapel long used as a radio communications centre. The main church was consecrated on 9 August 2008, and the 14-metre chapel honouring the martyrs Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia was begun on 21 May 2008. A skit operates in the settlement of Termalny.

The monastery's church occupies a former radio communications centre on Sopka Svyazi hill, a building originally raised in 1885 as a chapel over the mass grave of defenders of Petropavlovsk. Its patronal altar was consecrated on 9 August 2008 by Archbishop Ignatius. A copy of the "Inexhaustible Chalice" icon given to the community in 2009 began streaming myrrh on 30 May 2012, a fact confirmed by a diocesan commission.
