	Simon of Cyrene Mother
		Allowing the probability that Simon was known to favour the cause of Christ, I have no means of ascertaining whether he were a Jew or a Gentile: for ecclesiastical history furnishes nothing respecting him beyond what is furnished by the evangelists.
		If this identity were determined, there would be no doubt as to Simon's having been a Jew: but itis merely the resemblance in name which has led to the supposition; and even this resemblance is insufficient to support any theory; for the same Evangelist speaks of Simon the Cyrenian, and of Simeon, called Niger.
		Simon's Mother must have taught him from a child to love Jesus, It is obvious that he was a follower of christ because he was there to carry his cross. How close are you to Jesus?
