Simeon shot to fame in the 5th century as the hermit monk who lived for nearly 40 years on top of a 15 metre high pillar. After his death in 459 AD a complex of churches and a monastery was built around the pillar allowing the location to continue as a place of pilgrimage. I filmed this in December 2010. www.traveltalesandnotes.blogspot.com
