Saint Simeon Stylites or Symeon the Stylite (Arabic: Ù...ار سÙ...عان اÙ,,عÙ...ودي‎ mār semʕān l-Ê•amÅ«dÄ«; Greek: ἍγιοÏ, ΣÏ...μεὼν ΣÏ,,Ï...λίÏ,,ηÏ, Hagios Symeon Stylites) (c. 390 â€" 2 September 459) was a Christian ascetic saint who achieved fame because he lived for 37 years on a small platform on top of a pillar near Aleppo in Syria. Several other stylites later followed his model (the Greek word style means pillar). He is known formally as Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder to distinguish him from Simeon Stylites the Younger and Simeon Stylites III.
