Saint Panteleimon Monastery (Russian: Монастырь Святого Пантелеймона; Greek: Μονή Αγίου Παντελεήμονος, romanizedMoní Agíou Panteleímonos), also known as Rossikon (Russian: Россикон, romanizedRossikon; Greek: Ρωσσικόν, romanizedRossikón) or New Russik (Russian: Новый Руссик, romanizedNovyy Russik), is one of the twenty Eastern Orthodox monasteries on Mount Athos, located on the southwestern side of the peninsula in Northern Greece. It is the Russian monastery on the peninsula. It houses exclusively Russian monks, sent by the Russian Orthodox Church, and the liturgies are served in Russian, despite the fact that all monks on Mount Athos eventually become citizens of Greece.
