Although not in Mysia but in the neighbouring region of Bithynia, the monastery of St Panteleimon (Feastday: 27 July), was a major site of pilgrimage from many Greek Orthodox faithful from Mysia as well as Eastern Thrace and Bithynia. The monastery was built in the environs of Nicomedia (Izmit, Turkey), where St Panteleimon grew up, lived and was martyred. We will provide more information about this unique Saint, because he was doctor by profession who gave his services quite often for free to the needy, and those he could not heal by his vocation, he healed through his prayers. It is thanks to figures like St Panteleimon that through their witness and service, we in the modern world have the gift of public healthcare and medical support in many parts of the world. The above pictures show a colour reconstruction of the monastery of St Panteleimon in Nicomedia (Izmit). Unfortunately the monastery was destroyed in 1922, and all that remains are some walls which can be seen in the second picture. The icon is that of St Panteleimon holding his medical box and lance which he used to prepare and administer medicines made from herbs, minerals and various pharmaceutical concoctions of his time.

Another Greek Zeimbek warrior of Mysia, but some of his clothing apparel, as well as some of the pattern-designs and colour, indicate a more Turkish Zeimbek outfit than a Greek one. The image being adapted from an damaged old photo and taking inspiration from historical archives and documentations with reconstructions. Again, the zeibek warrior tradition and code draws upon the West Anatolian Greek heritage and the Turkic settlers who came to Anatolia as refugees from Central Asia due to the Mongolian conquests and genocides of the peoples of Turkic homelands.

Traditional village house with its courtyard has been converted into a cafe. Very typical of the vernacular architecture and lifestyle of the Mysian region for both Greeks and Turks. The latter having settled as refugees from Central Asia due to the Mongols, adopted much from the indigenous Greeks, and continuing many of the local customs and culture of the region. Although, they assimilated much of the indigenous Greek population of Anatolia (Asia Minor) into a Turkish, Islamic identity, many of the traditions, foods, music, customs, architecture and culture has continued into our day.
