Panteleimon points to saint panteilon - are they the same, and if so what is the signficiance of the different names and should it be brought out on this page? Midgley 22:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Articles merged and 'Rossikon' redirected by me. Jack1956 ( talk) 23:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I note that the Rossikon article was created by the editor who keeps reinstating the merge tag because the merge went the other way... a case of injured pride? It doesn't matter which is the older article, what matters is which is the more informative and accurate. Jack1956 ( talk) 10:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
The dramatic attack on this monastery was to put a stop to a group of Russian Orthodox monks who adhered to the practice of "Name Worshipping", repeating over and over again a prayer to the name of God saying "The name of God is God". In July of 1913 Archbishop Nikon of Vologda and an Officer Shipulinksy stormed the monastery using machine guns and water cannons forcing all the monks to come out of their cells and then be polled one by one as to whether or not they would renounce this heresy. Over 1,000 monks refused to renounce the belief in the holiness of the name of God and were taken away by the Russian marines to Odessa and later excommunicated and dispersed throughout Siberia.
This is all recounted in a book on the history of the Moscow School of Mathematics called "Naming Infinity; a True Story of Religious Mysticism and Mathematical Creativity" published by Harvard University Press. It turns out that founders of the famous Moscow School of Mathematics were influenced significantly by some of the followers of the Name Worshippers.
It strikes me that this is worthy of inclusion in the history of the St. Panteleimons Monastery. Are there other accounts of this history that would include this dramatic event? [1] John Gregory Dove ( talk) 02:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
