.

It is believed that the saint patronizes everyone who bears these names in every possible way and protects them from illnesses and troubles.

September 14 is the day of the angel of girls and women named Natalya, Tatiana (Tatiana), Callista and Martha. And among boys and men, name days are celebrated by Simeon (Semyon), Jesus, Aifal, Ammun, Evod and Hermogen. In addition, it is believed that on this day all birthday people's dreams will certainly come true.

The Monk Simeon was born in Cappadocia into a poor Syrian family. He began his service to God from a young age. One day a young man came to the temple and suddenly heard wonderful singing. Seeing this as a sign from God, the young man in prayer turned to the Almighty with a request to guide him on the true path and indicate his future path in life.

After this, Simeon decided to devote his life to serving the Lord, humility and prayer.

Choosing the life of a monk, he became a hermit, left his father's house and retired to the desert.

There he built a pillar several meters high for himself and settled right on it, offering prayers to God both day and night. Pilgrims came to this place from different countries, in hopes of receiving healing from illness or a word of wisdom. Simeon helped people, but did not descend from his stone monastery for a long time.

And having lived to be a hundred years old, he died quietly during prayer, handing over his soul to the Lord. The monk's long stay on this stone tower served as the beginning of pillarism - a new type of pilgrimage with strict abstinence from food and other deprivations.

In Rus', September 14 received the name - Day of Simeon the Stylite or Semenov Day. Old Russian name towers - “pillar” - formed the basis for the nickname of this saint. From the end of the fifteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century, Semenov Day was considered an important and revered holiday - the beginning of a new year.
