According to the newlyan calendar, the Orthodox is honored today by the Holy Martyr and Healer Panteleimon of Nicomedian. On this day, it is started to pray for healing from illness - both physical and mental. Panteleimon is considered the patron saint of doctors, military and anyone who fights.

Medical Day in Ukraine

In Ukraine, this holiday since 2023 is officially considered a doctor's Day. He was postponed from June to July 27 - on the day of St. Panteleimon's memory. Today it is customary to welcome doctors, nurses, paramedics and all health care - to thank them for their dedicated work, especially in the conditions of war.

International holiday

All over the world, July 27 celebrates the Day of Grandparents - it is a day of family warmth when grandchildren should call or visit older relatives. Also today on the calendar - Hamburger Day and Walking Day.

Folk traditions

Panteleimones celebrated the day on July 27. It was believed that this day, healing herbs were gaining much strength, so they were actively harvested. Young potatoes, onions and cabbage were harvested in the cities - and soups were cooked, believing that they would bring health.

This day was considered to be for the treatment, tempering of the body and the beginning of wellness procedures.

That cannot be done today

According to traditional beliefs, it is not difficult today to work, quarrel, envy or refuse to help the needy. Such actions can "attract" illness or trouble. The day should be done calmly and with good in the heart.
