Shortly before the Eve, I visited the Kalozhici village (between Volosovo and Kingisepp). Below are photos taken near the source of the water of St. Panteleimon. Today, January 16, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, is a good reason to post a photo.

About Saint Panteleimon

Panteleimon - (275 - July 27, 305) is a great martyr of the Orthodox Church. Saint Panteleimon was born around the middle of the 3rd century in Nicomedia Bithynia, in Asia Minor. His former name was Pantoleon, and he came from a wealthy family of the city. His father was a citizen (an idolater), while his mother Evuli accepted Christianity and began to teach him Christianity at a very young age. From an early age he had an encyclical education, and when he completed it, he studied medicine, but also distinguished himself with his rhetoric. His family's relations with the palace were very good and soon brought him as a physician to the court of the emperor Diocletian. Finally, he accepted Christianity. but his mother died.

Panteleimon once had a miraculous event: he saw a child fall down dead, and a viper coiled up next to him, he thought that if there really was a God, he could save him, which was done. The child was resurrected, and the viper burst from the inside.

His father died a short time later, Panteleimon became the owner of a large fortune. He then sold his property to help the poor, and offered his medical services free of charge to anyone who could not afford to cope.

However, his practice led many doctors to condemn him and point out to the palace that he was a Christian. The teacher in particular was especially envious of himself. He was arrested and taken to the emperor. There he was called upon to sacrifice to the idols in order to be freed. But Panteleimon refused, saying that he would not sacrifice to false gods. Then a paralytic was sent before him so that he could heal him, or the priests of the palace to show who the true God was. Saint Panteleimon healed the paralytic, which caused great astonishment. However, the emperor again wanted to dissuade him from this. Panteleimon refused and was led to martyrdom. Sometimes they burned his body with torches, sometimes they whipped him, and sometimes they poured hot oil on him. In many cases, however, the tortured did not cause him any pain. In order to kill him, they threw him among the beasts, but did not harm him.

Finally, it was decided to behead him. When he was transferred to the place of execution, he prayed constantly, and then a voice was heard from heaven, which called him Panteleimon, instead of Pantoleon. When they beheaded him, he lay milk instead of blood, and the olive tree on which they tied him immediately bore fruit.

About Source

It is located on the left side of the highway. Near the road a sign "Water source" is set:

Surprisingly, the water in the key beats literally from under the ground, from the bottom up - from the layer of limestone and karst faults.

Water from the spring is used for holly dipping (which is sometimes called "Jordan") - organized "kupel'" for believers. The holiday Baptism of the Lord is a religious holiday of the Orthodox Church, celebrated on January 19 according to a new style.

Geography and History of Antiquity

The relief in this place does not have hills, flat - since the area of the East European (Russian) hill. The height above sea level is approximately 100 meters, formed after the gastric retreat at the end of the glacial period 12...11,50 thousands years ago. Then a polar desert formed at this place, gradually changed. The climate in that era was cold and dry.

The first inhabitants of these places after the retreat of the glacier were hunters (“Finns” - Germanism, literally meaning “seeking”). Among the Finno-Ugers, collecting (fishing, harvesting forest berries, mushrooms), agriculture and cattle breeding flourished.

On the Izhora land In the I-XIX centuries, the indigenous peoples of the Izhora sublime Finno-Ugric

On the Izhora Land in the I-Xix Centuries, the indigenous peoples of the sublime Izhora- Finno-Ougric:

• Veps - vepsläižed, vepsä (Gentiles)
• Izhorians (Pagan and Orthodox) - Ancient people of Finno, practically assimilated in our time
• Ingermanlads / Ingrian Finns (Lutherans) - who spoke in the eastern dialect of the Finnish language) (Lutherans) -
• Vots - Now people disappearing (less than 100 people)

History of Izhora Earth - from the ancient Slavs to the present

In the VIII century, in this territory adjacent to the Gulf of Finland, they settled East Slavs, which also engaged in agriculture, cattle breeding, beekeeping, hunting, fishing. In 750, the city of Ladoga arose the most important political and economic center for the formation of statehood of Ancient Rus' (source).

In the XII century, the territory on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland became part of Novgorod Republic which had political independence. It was commanded by Novgorod Prince.

The first mention is 1221 in the Chronicle of Henry of Latvian, due to the invasion of German knights into this land. The Novgorod Chronicle in 1228 tells about the participation of Izhora in the reflection of the raid of the Finnish tribe of Em in Ladoga ..

In December 1237, the Catholic pope Grigory IX proclaimed a second crusade in Finland. The Swedish feudal lords joined him.

The seizure of the Swedes of Russian lands have been made under a religious pretext: "To protect the new planting of the Christian faith against the infidels of the Russians". In the next message of February 27, 1233, Russians (Rutheni) are directly called "enemies". The Apostolic Legat was appointed coordinator of joint actions William of Modena. The Italian cardinal considered the lands near Narva as a bridgehead for the advance of the Roman Church to the east.

Catholic expansion with the participation of the Swedes in the Neva area was prevented by warriors under the command of Prince Alexander Yaroslavich (see Neva Battle) - July 15, 1240 at the confluence of the Izhora River into the Nevu River.

To protect the northwestern borders of Rus' from the Swedes, the Novgorodians in the XIII-XIV centuries create fortresses of Yam, Koporye, Nut, Korel, Tiver town.

The Novgorod Republic ceased to exist after the defeat by the Moscow king Ivan III. The Novgorodians accused of betrayal for the attempt of the boyars to enter into an alliance with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

There was a battle of the river of Shelon between the Moscow troops and the Novgorod people's militia, in which the Novgorodians suffered a crushing defeat. In 1478, Novgorod was annexed to the Moscow Principality.

From 1598 to 1613 - a period of troubled time ("Turmoil time").

The next stage is the Russian-Swedish war 1610-1616 years ("Ingrian war")).

In 1611, taking advantage of the fact that between the Commonwealth and Sweden, a truce was enclosed in April for 10 months, the Swedish mercenaries, not receiving the boards promised by Tsar Shuisky for their services, began to seize the Novgorod lands - the Russian border fortresses of Korel, Yam, Ivangorod, Koporye and Gdov were taken by storming.
Wikipedia "Russian-Swedish war (1610-1617)"

The Great Novorod city, due to the poor organization of defense ("confusion") was captured by the Swedes and was occupied by six years:

• from July 25, 1611
• till 1617

As a result, the Izhora land was occupied by the Swedes for almost 100 years by conclusion of "Treaty of Stolbovo") on the northwestern borders of Russia. The Russians got towns Old Russa, Ladoga, Porkhov, Gdov and Pskov, but insulated to the Baltic Sea for about a century.

The Izhora land, the entire coast of the Gulf of Finland, Russia gave in to the Swedish kingdom. They are Russian cities of Ivangorod, Yam, Koporye, Korela, all Neva and a nut with the county.

Russia's attempt in 1656–1658 to recapture the lost territories by force of arms was unsuccessful.

Great Northern War from 1700 to 1721 - won by Russia. Ingermanland is returned. The Russia was guided in Northern war by military leader Peter I - the first emperor of all Russia. The main episode was the Battle of Poltava against the Swedish Empire.

The lands near the village of Koporye entered in 1770 the composition of the Novgorod and Vyborg provinces (see map of Ya. F. Shmidt).

Before the 1917 revolution, the land near the Koporye before Kingisepp was called "Saint Petersburg Governorate" of Russian Empire. Employment of local residents - food supply for St. Petersburg. Earth owners are landowners. Center is Yamburg (since 1922 - Kingisepp).

After the 1917 revolution, the administrative-territorial division of the Leningrad region changed several times.

In 1917, Yudenich’s White Guard Army passed through the Kaloshitsy village:

In the captured territory, White army solders began to restore pre-revolutionary orders. The former owners returned to factories and factories, landowners and managers gathered in the estate. The land from the peasants, "illegal", was taken away. The landowners and capitalists returned all their property confiscated. For the peasants, flogging was again introduced. In the villages of Kaloshitsy, several girls were pushed before the general gathering of the inhabitants only because they danced with the Red Army.

In 1930, collectivization began (forcibly association of small farms into collective farms, deprivation of the land of "fists" and transferring to the property of the collective farm). Part of the crop grown was issued to employees for "workdays". Not only wealthy, but also ordinary peasants, who sometimes got 200 grams of grain per day of work, suffered from collectivization. (Source: PDF)

From 1941 to 1944, the Leningrad Region was occupied by German troops. What did they do? “... Minses behaved treacherously, they took everything they could: the chickens were caught, piglets ”... No wonder they were nicknamed“ "chicken catchers" ("kurolovs")".
Estonians and Finns joined the Germans:

The invaders, without any embarrassment, not taking into account the obvious poverty of the population and the presence of many children, took everything they wanted. In the house of R. D. Khilovskaya, “mother hid clothes: warm socks, sweaters, everything she had. So they came from Luga, the Finns (who served with the Germans) were the ones who misbehaved the most. The Estonians were also very angry. They came on bicycles, dug up everything that mother had in the chest of drawers. They took all the underwear, they took everything warm. And you can’t say anything".

Or here is the story of the witness:

“They came and went from house to house to rummage around: where is what. And we stand there like fools... They gave us a house: you, they say, spend the night here, so that no one will touch you. And they themselves occupied our house.”

During the years of German occupation, many local residents went to partisans.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1945, the village of Kalozhitsy belongs to the Volosovsky district of the region.

The village's post-war population was halved: 200 versus 500 people: 200 versus 500 man.

The post-war period 1945-1985

During the war, agriculture was completely destroyed: cattle and tractors were evacuated, cowsheds, a tribe were broken during hostilities. In the first post-war years, it was necessary to restore it, but the collective farms were weak, low-power. In 1946, the first inter-collective farm Usteva power station on the River Radada gave electric current. Source: Volosovskiyon.rf. By the 1970s, powerful farms began to appear: the Volosovsky state farm. 506 workers and employees worked in it. The main type of classes is livestock, potato breeding, seed production of perennial herbs. Medical services for the population, roads and communications have improved.

1985-2017

The leading place in the agro-industrial complex of the region is reserved for livestock: the production of milk and meat.
Gross milk production amounted to 86.5 thousand tons (99% to the level of 2012). The average milk yield per 1 cow was 7955 kg. (-75 kg by 2012).

Source in the village of Kalozhitsy Today

The state Cadastre number of the site where the Church of St. Panteleimon is built: 47:22:0208001:414. Category of land: agricultural land land plots (territories) of common use) with an area of ~ 0.75 ha. (47: 22: 0208001:414).

The chapel next to the source of St. Panteleimon was built in 2004 next to the old stone cross. The building initiative belongs to a local resident named Begun.

On his initiative, the territory around the holy source was cleared and fenced off from the highway. In 2004, a chapel consecrated in the name of the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon grew up here.

Nothing is known about the quality of water. Since the spring flows from under the embankment of the road, I did not drink water. In appearance, the water is clean, very transparent.
The source has seasonality: temporarily drying, but reappeared.

The passage to the church is free, clean and silence reigns everywhere. During my visit, I did not see the abbot or praying local residents during my visit, although it was Saturday. There is no information on healing from this source. The source' use for religion is relatively new. In my opinion, the source is not popular among local residents, because walking on the highway 3 km is not as exciting as to come here by car. Bathing for the festival of baptism is more than a tribute to tradition, pilgrims from St. Petersburg are brought here. The cost of the trip is 1800 rubles.

Conclusion: An attempt to create beauty near the source of water is respect. Moreover, the initiative to build a temple came from a local resident of the village. I recommend visiting the place on the weekend. Probably, in early summer, this place looks more joyful and blooming. Now there are quite few visitors (with the exception of baptism on January 19, when everyone is torn behind the "holy water" in the hole or bathhouses).

P.S.
Another source of the water, according to legend with the real imprint of the Virgin's leg imprint on the stone, is in Kotelsky rural settlement.
