	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Simeon Stylites the Elder
		Simeon was the first and probably the most famous of the long succession of stylitoe, or "pillar-hermits", who during more than six centuries acquired by their strange form of asceticism a great reputation for holiness throughout eastern Christendom.
		Simeon the Elder, was born about 388 at Sisan, near the northern border of Syria.
		Simeon had a pillar erected with a small platform at the top, and upon this he determined to take up his abode until death released him.

		Simeon Stylites is only thought to be uselessly eccentric by those who are ignorant of the great work which he accomplished during his life; fruits which could not be wrought by mere human effort but through the Divine Goodness.

		It's a good thing that Simeon was not permanently chained to that rock, or he would not have been able to escape the numerous visitors that interrupted his solitude, visitors that went so far as to snip off a piece of his tunic to keep as a relic.
		From Saint Simeon, atop his column uniting heaven and earth, we learn the principle that the children of God should be "in" the world but not "of" the world.
		Simeon was the first of many stylites, who found that life at the top of a column offered unexpected advantages: it was conducive to the stability that was so dear to the hearts of monks in retreat; and it added to his ascetic sufferings.
