'''Saint Panteleimon''' ({{lang-mk|Свети Пантелејмон}}, [[Transliteration of Macedonian|transliterated]] ''Sveti Pantelejmon'', {{pronEng|pantɛlɛjmɔn}}) is a [[monastery]] in [[Ohrid]], [[Republic of Macedonia]] situated on Plaošnik. It is attributed to [[Clement of Ohrid]], a [[disciple]] of [[Saint Cyril]] and [[Saint Methodius]]. [[Archaeologists]] have come to believe that the monastery was the site where the first students of the [[Glagolitic alphabet]] (used to translate the [[Bible]] into [[Old Church Slavonic]]) were taught. Saint Panteleimon is the most sacred and holiest site among [[ethnic Macedonians]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The episodes first began airing on [[TV Tokyo]] on April 6, 2008 and subsequently on other stations. Two pieces of [[theme music]] are used for the anime; one for the opening theme and one for the ending theme. The opening theme, "Joy to the World" is sung by [[Hiroki Takahashi]], [[Toru Ohkawa]], [[Masaya Onosaka]], and [[Daisuke Ono]]. The ending theme, "Ai Ai Gasa" (アイアイ傘, "Ai Ai Gasa"?) is performed by [[Tegomass]]. |

|||
The monastery is believed to have been built when Saint Clement arrived in Ohrid, at the request of [[Boris I of Bulgaria]] and restored an old [[church (building)|church]]. Sources say that Saint Clement was not satisfied with the size of the church and therefore built a new one over it and assigned [[Saint Panteleimon]] as its [[patron saint]]. |
|||
A sequel to the first season of the [[anime]] has been announced by [[KOEI]], the creators of the Angelique series and games.<ref> {{citeweb|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-06-09/neo-angelique-abyss-second-age-tv-sequel-confirmed|title=''Neo Angelique Abyss -Second Age- sequel announced.'' (TV)|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=2008-06-19}}</ref> The second season dubbed Neo Angelique Abyss -Second Age- will be scheduled to air in July directly after the first season ends. The second season will continue off from where the first season ends. |
|||
Saint Clement used his newly created monastery as a [[liturgical]] [[building]] and a place for teaching his disciples his variation of the Glagolitic alphabet, known as the [[Cyrillic alphabet]]. Clement personally built a [[crypt]] inside the monastery in which he was buried after his death in 916, his [[tomb]] still exists today. |

In the 15th century, [[Ottoman Turks]] converted the monastery into a [[mosque]] but during the beginning of the 16th century allowed ruined churches and monasteries to be restored, therefore, so was Saint Clement's monastery. The monastery was again ruined during the end of the 16th century or the beginning of the 17th century and yet another mosque, called Imaret Mosque, was erected by the Ottomans, this mosque still exists to this day.<ref>[http://www.ohrid.org.mk/eng/crkvi/pantelej.htm Official site of Ohrid] St. Clement's monastery "St. Pantheleimon"</ref> |

Many archaeologists believe that Clement himself designed and constructed the monastery. Clement, along with [[Naum of Preslav]] would use the monastery as a basis for teaching the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets to [[Christianised]] [[Slavs]] thus making it a university. |

|||
The monastery stands on a [[hill]] which is now known as Plaošnik overlooking [[Lake Ohrid]]. Clement built his monastery on a restored church and a [[Roman architecture|Roman]] [[basilica]] of five parts (the remains of the basilicas can still be seen outside the monastery). Judging by the architectural style and design of the monastery, researchers say that Saint Clement intended for his building to be a [[literary]] [[school]] for disciples, thus it is believed to be the first and oldest discontinued university in Europe. |

Apart from the monastery's many reconstructions during the [[Ottoman empire]], it has recently undergone extensive reconstruction and excavation. Reconstruction started on [[December 8]], [[2000]] and the physical church was fully reconstructed by [[August 10]], [[2002]]. Most of Saint Clement's [[relic]]s were returned to the church.<ref>[http://www.stmichaels-audley.org.uk/dc6.htm Journey to Macedonia] Part II: St. Clement of Ohrid, ''Fr Samuel'', December, 2006</ref> A partially ruined bell tower was restored on the right side of the monastery and the floors of the interior of the church have been reconstructed with [[marble]]. Reconstruction was carried out by hand using materials used to build the original church in order to preserve the original spirituality of the monastery. Machines were only used to polish the interior during the reconstruction of the monastery.<ref>[http://www.culture.in.mk/story.asp?id=3039&rub=43 Culture - Republic of Macedonia] On Plaosnik – a New Building on Ancient Foundations – Saint Clement’s Temple Resurrects in the New Age, ''Nova Makedonija'', 4.05.2002</ref> The first excavations of the monastery were carried out in 1943 by [[Prof.]] Dimche Koco. Excavations inside the monastery have revealed underground tunnels and crypts. Further excavations have been planned to uncover more remains under the monastery, including more ruins of the Roman basilicas that stood there (the pillars outside the monastery support the idea of more remains). |

On [[October 10]], [[2007]], a [[depot]] of approximately 2,383 [[Venice|Venetian]] [[coin]]s was discovered by archaeologists while excavating the monastery. A prominent archaeologist of the Republic of Macedonian, [[Pasko Kuzman]], stated that the coins are of special significance because they indicate that Ohrid and Venice were [[Commerce|commercially]] linked.<ref>[http://culture.in.mk/story.asp?id=21569&rub=43 Culture - Republic of Macedonia] Archaeology – Depot with Venetian Silver Coins Excavated, ''[[Večer (daily newspaper)|Večer]]'', 10.10.2007</ref> |

|ShortSummary=Angelique and the others visit the Sacred Capital where she meets up with Renie at the Silver Leaf Tree; the same place where she first met him. Here, Renie tells her he's getting ready to take over as the Leader of the Organization. Meanwhile, Roche and Bernard are searching for the truth about Nyx and the only clue they have is a letter. We learn about the history of Renie and Mathias, back when Mathias was told he could no longer be the Leader and was put in charge of training Renie to become the Leader. Erenfried has finally finished creating the Artifact chip that Mathias ordered him to in exchange for Yorgo's freedom. However, Mathias has reneged on his half of the promise and has Erenfried thrown into jail. After chatting with Renie, Angelique goes back to her room where Bernard and Roche have finally arrived. They show her the letter which was written by August, one of Nyx's grandfather's friends. In the letter, however, August writes that he believes Nyx and the grandfather who'd left on the journey long ago are the same person. Even August began his own investigation as to Nyx's background but could find nothing. August besieges Angelique to save Nyx. Rayne suggests to go through the material once again while Angelique muses on her own personal thoughts and leaves the room with the claim for fresh air. Bernard finds Angelique, tells her that it's fine to cry and then says a phrase that she remembers from her past. Turns out Bernard is the son of a relative she stayed with after her parents died and the two of them had developed a very close relationship. When he left on a journey, he gave her the ivory rose necklace. The reason he's held it all this time is because he remembered the memento which also explained his great desire to find her when she disappeared. Back at the large prayer room, Mathias has appeared before the Highest Elder to announce Angelique's return. Extremely surprised as he expected Mathias to have long disappeared from the Sacred Capital, the Elder expresses his anger but it's short-lived as Mathias buries the knife into his chest. |

|ShortSummary=Everyone is gathered for the crowning ceremony of Rene in the Sacred City palace. But Mathias interrupts the ceremony, claiming that he is the only one fit to be a king as there is no one who loves the capital more than he. He even chides Renie for complaining how he's a caged bird because of Renie's ignorance at how the world outside the capital truly is. He pulls out the knife and notes the irony of how the Highest Elder had Renie give him this knife. The reason being was that it was an unspoken command to not only remove himself from the Sacred Capital but to commit suicide as his life truly meant nothing to them except as a substitute until the real Leader was born (aka Renie). His existence would have only been even more troublesome at such a turbulent time in Arcadia. He insinuates that the Elder can no longer order him from the capital, allowing the others to draw the conclusion as to what the Elder's fate was. He places the Artifact chip on his neck (similar to the one Carlyle had, the same one that Rayne created long ago) to receive the enhanced purification powers it's rumored to do for a user. Jet is ordered to take Angelique and when the others run to her rescue, Mathias shows us the first uses of his new powers. Nobody knows what the Artifact chip truly does so it's quite the surprise (even for Mathias) when they realize the chip allows them to call and control the Thanatos. J.D. faces off with Jet and while J.D. doesn't want to fight Jet, Jet has no hesitation. Just as Jet is about to deliver the final blow to J.D., Angelique screams out and stops Jet. This confuses and irritates Jet even more as he doesn't understand how a voice other than his Master's can control him. He practically strangles Angelique to death but Nyx shows up and rescues Angelique. He asks Angelique to follow him since he has very little time left as the true Nyx (before the Erebos takes over again) and holds out his hand, asking her to take it. Angelique hesitates as she realizes her friends are fighting inside the Consortium but realizes that if she lets him go, he may be lost to her forever. She takes his hand and follows him. Bernard and Roche sees those two dashing away from the battle and Bernard tries to chase after her, only for Roche to stop him. Bernard is mad and throws Roche's hand off but in the struggle, a picture has dropped to the ground. Bernard picks it up, sees that it's a picture of Angelique and realizes something... |

Saint Panteleimon (Macedonian: Свети Пантелејмон, transliterated Sveti Pantelejmon, Template:PronEng) is a monastery in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia situated on Plaošnik. It is attributed to Clement of Ohrid, a disciple of Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius. Archaeologists have come to believe that the monastery was the site where the first students of the Glagolitic alphabet (used to translate the Bible into Old Church Slavonic) were taught. Saint Panteleimon is the most sacred and holiest site among ethnic Macedonians.
History
The monastery is believed to have been built when Saint Clement arrived in Ohrid, at the request of Boris I of Bulgaria and restored an old church. Sources say that Saint Clement was not satisfied with the size of the church and therefore built a new one over it and assigned Saint Panteleimon as its patron saint.
Saint Clement used his newly created monastery as a liturgical building and a place for teaching his disciples his variation of the Glagolitic alphabet, known as the Cyrillic alphabet. Clement personally built a crypt inside the monastery in which he was buried after his death in 916, his tomb still exists today.
In the 15th century, Ottoman Turks converted the monastery into a mosque but during the beginning of the 16th century allowed ruined churches and monasteries to be restored, therefore, so was Saint Clement's monastery. The monastery was again ruined during the end of the 16th century or the beginning of the 17th century and yet another mosque, called Imaret Mosque, was erected by the Ottomans, this mosque still exists to this day.[1]
Architecture
Many archaeologists believe that Clement himself designed and constructed the monastery. Clement, along with Naum of Preslav would use the monastery as a basis for teaching the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets to Christianised Slavs thus making it a university.
The monastery stands on a hill which is now known as Plaošnik overlooking Lake Ohrid. Clement built his monastery on a restored church and a Roman basilica of five parts (the remains of the basilicas can still be seen outside the monastery). Judging by the architectural style and design of the monastery, researchers say that Saint Clement intended for his building to be a literary school for disciples, thus it is believed to be the first and oldest discontinued university in Europe.
The exterior of the monastery contains a large number of finely detailed mosaics not far from a stone Baptismal font used to baptise his disciples.
Reconstruction and excavation
Apart from the monastery's many reconstructions during the Ottoman empire, it has recently undergone extensive reconstruction and excavation. Reconstruction started on December 8, 2000 and the physical church was fully reconstructed by August 10, 2002. Most of Saint Clement's relics were returned to the church.[2] A partially ruined bell tower was restored on the right side of the monastery and the floors of the interior of the church have been reconstructed with marble. Reconstruction was carried out by hand using materials used to build the original church in order to preserve the original spirituality of the monastery. Machines were only used to polish the interior during the reconstruction of the monastery.[3] The first excavations of the monastery were carried out in 1943 by Prof. Dimche Koco. Excavations inside the monastery have revealed underground tunnels and crypts. Further excavations have been planned to uncover more remains under the monastery, including more ruins of the Roman basilicas that stood there (the pillars outside the monastery support the idea of more remains).
On October 10, 2007, a depot of approximately 2,383 Venetian coins was discovered by archaeologists while excavating the monastery. A prominent archaeologist of the Republic of Macedonian, Pasko Kuzman, stated that the coins are of special significance because they indicate that Ohrid and Venice were commercially linked.[4]
Tradition
As the monastery is the most sacred of all the churches in the Republic of Macedonia, thousands of Macedonian Orthodox Christians gather at Plaošnik during large religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas to celebrate and take part in the liturgies.
