Life
Holy Venerable Simeon the Barefoot practised asceticism on the Holy Mountain. For a short time he was abbot of Philotheou Monastery. He strengthened Christians in the faith in many parts of the Balkans. Among Christians he became renowned for working miracles. He always went barefoot, which is why he was called the Barefoot. He died at Constantinople. The Serbian Church commemorates him on 19 April by the old calendar (2 May by the new).
