St. Pantaleon, Physician & Martyr, by Clayton & Bell of London, 1917

St. Pantaleon is depicted in the right-hand lancet of this three-light window. He was the son of a pagan father and Christian mother in the second century in Asia Minor. His name, Pantaleimon in Greek, means “all-compassionate.” His mother, Eubula, brought him up as a Christian, but he lapsed into paganism again, until, as an adult and a successful physician he was brought back to Christianity. His legend says that he ministered to the poor and sick without asking to be paid. One of his patients was the emperor Galerius. When the persecution of the Christians was started in Nicomedia by Diocletian in 303 C.E., Pantaleon was exposed as a Christian and denounced by his colleagues. He was imprisoned and subjected to torture; he was eventually beheaded. His cult sprang up immediately and spread to the west as well. He was credited with miraculous cures and the working of medical wonders. He is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, saints whose intercession with God in times of great danger and illness was most efficient. (See also St. Catherine and St. Margaret in the chapel section.) He is pictured here with the sword by which he was killed and a tray of medicine. He is standing in a garden niche, backed by Gothic architectural detail in the style made popular during the 19th century revival of medieval stained glass.

One of the characteristics of this window that is similar to other windows by the firm of Clayton and Bell of London is the style of the writing of the inscription. To the right of the words in the inscription "Good Shepherd," almost hidden by the metal framing around the window, is a small golden bell which is inscribed "London 1917."
