The '''St. Panteleimon's Monastery''' (Greek: Άγιος Παντελεήμων, Agios Panteleimon; Russian: Ρωσικό, Rossikon)) is one of the twenty [[monastery|monasteries]] located on the peninsula of [[Mount Athos]] in northeastern Greece. The [[monastery]] is on southwestern side of the peninsula. St. Panteleimon's has been inhabited for the past two-hundred-plus years by [[monk]]s of Russian origin and is referred to often as the Russian monastery (Ρωσσικόν, Rossikon). The monastery is ranked nineteenth in the hierarchical order among the twenty monasteries on Mount Athos. The [[monk]]s live in a [[cenobitic]] life. The monastery [[feast day]] is that of St. [[Panteleimon]], [[July 27]].
A monastery has existed for nearly a thousand years near the site of the present monastery, with the original buildings dating back to the eleventh century. The monastery was rebuilt after a fire during the thirteenth century with financial support from Emperor Andronicus Paleologos and Serbian rulers. The monastery experienced cyclic periods of economic prosperity and recession. Both Greek and Russian monks occupied the monastery over the centuries with the population strength alternating between them. Since 1875 the Russians have been the dominant ethnicity. In 1875 a decree was imposed that the services held in the katholikon must be chanted in both Greek and [[Church Slavonic]]. At its height in 1903, over 1440 monks lived in the monastery.
