Life

Holy New Martyr Panagiotes of Caesarea was born in Caesarea of Cappadocia and suffered at Constantinople, under Ottoman rule, by beheading, on 24 June 1765 (according to other accounts, in 1767, at the age of twenty). The faithful buried his holy relics with honour in the church of the Zoodochos Pege (Life-⁠Giving Spring) in Constantinople.

His troparion calls him a divine offshoot of Caesarea and a sharer in the struggle of the martyrs. The sources at hand do not preserve details of the circumstances of his martyrdom. He is commemorated on 24 June.
