Life

Saint Symeon of Sicily is a holy monk from Sicily whom the Western calendars commemorate on 27 July as Symeon Stylites (the Younger) of Sicily, of the sixth century. Our sources preserve no account of his life.

He is commemorated as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. He is not to be confused with Saint Simeon of Trier, born at Syracuse and reposed in Germany in 1035, commemorated on 1 May.
