St Panagiotis was born in Peloponnesus, in his ignorance of Islamic law he entered the Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem (the Dome of the Rock) and some fanatic Turks grabbed him and brought him before the Pasha of Damascus as a defiler of the Islamic temple. The Pasha offered him the chance of becoming a Muslim in order to avoid death. Panagiotis remained steadfast to his Christian faith, and for that reason he was beheaded on April 5, 1820, as he was chanting "Christ is Risen!" before several Muslims. He was 25 years old.
