Serbian Orthodox Church - Our Holy Father Simeon the New Theologian

SerbianOrthodoxChurch.net

This great and godly Father of the Church was born in Galatai in Paphlagonia and educated in Constantinople, where he entered the imperial service. He left all for Christ and took himself off to a monastery, living in asceticism under the guidance of an elder, Simeon, then becoming abbot of the monastery of St Mamas and finally a hermit. He was the greatest theologian since St Gregory the Theologian. His writings, illumined with the grace he carded in his heart, are a true theological revelation. He entered into rest in 1022, leaving wonder-working relics.
