Life

Saint Simon was an ascetic and fell asleep in peace.

The verse of the synaxarion says that the coffin is the dwelling of Simon's body, and heaven the dwelling of his spirit. His writings on humility are found in the Evergetinos. No other details of his life, or of the place or time in which he lived, are preserved. He is commemorated on 25 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
