Today we celebrate the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon the Unmercenary Healer. Saint Panteleimon was born to a pagan father and Christian mother. His mother died while he was still young but was successful in instilling in her son many of the virtues. His father saw to his education where he became a doctor in medicine, one of the finest in all the surrounding area. He soon accepted the Christian faith after conversing with a priest named Hermolaos on his way to the emperor's palace (whom he served as a physician). Having been baptised, he healed multitudes with his prayer and no medicines, accepting no money in return, thus earning him the title of Unmercenary. When the other physicians of the area began losing customers, they dob informed the emperor Maximian that Panteleimon was now a Christian. Because they were close friends, Maximian did not want to torture Panteleimon straight away and so agreed to have a paralysed man enter whom the pagan doctors would try to heal and then Panteleimon. Successfully healing the paralytic, Panteleimon was subject to many tortures out of the emperor's rage against his conversion. Eventually, the Saint was beheaded, having converted thousands through his example of a noble martyr.

I've only watched the series and film but do people have daemons of the opposite gender? Like is the normal thing?

Stelmaria is female. Pan is male. Hester is female. Orange murder monkey is male.

Also my mum and dad said mine would be a panda 😂

His Dark Materials: Wrapped

[poppy201]

I can't tell you all how glad I am to see that Lyra's finally met her two real dads and is about to meet one of her real mams.

Ok, I’ve been kinda fine with the changes so far, but this episode? Lyra screaming she’s Marisa’s daughter to the scientists? Fucking never. Her screaming “ Let me go” not even looking at Pan. Fuck you writers. Her trying to run away when they already locked Pan? Pure bullshit!! First of all she would never! Second of all it would be to painfull. This was the worst episode so far. i really want to love the show as much as I love books but this episode just pissed me of.
