THE VENERABLE SIMEON [MIROTOCIVI],
FROM WHOSE RELICS FLOWED MYRRH - CHRISM
Stefan Nemanja [Nehemiah], the great ruler [Great Zupan] of the Serbian people, the consolidator of Serbian lands, creator of the independent Serbian state, defender of Orthodoxy and exterminator of heresy. At first, he was baptized in the Latin Church but later left this Church and embraced the Orthodox Church. In the beginning, he was dependent on the Greeks with regard to the State, but later he freed himself from this dependence and became completely autonomous. When Stefan consolidated the State and the Orthodox Faith in the State, then, following the example of his son Sava, received the monastic tonsure in Studenica Monastery in the year 1195 A.D., and received the name Simeon. His wife Anna withdrew to a convent, embraced the monastic tonsure and received the name Anastasia. After two years as a monk in Studenica, Simeon traveled to Athos, the Holy Mountain. There he took up residence in the Monastery Vatopedi together with his son Sava. Father and son spend their days and nights in prayer. There, they built six chapels dedicated to: the Savior, The Unmercenary Saints, St. George, St. Theodore, The Forerunner and St. Nicholas. They purchased the ruins of Hilendar and erected a glorious monastery in which Simeon lived only eight months and then died. When Simeon was on his deathbed, Sava, according to his father's wishes, placed him on a simple mat. With eyes directed toward the icon of the Mother of God and the Savior, the blessed elder spoke these last words: "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." (Psalm 150:6), and took up habitation with the Lord on February 13, 1200 A.D.
ПРЕПОДОБНИ СИМЕОН МИРОТОЧИВИ - СТЕФАН НЕМАЊА
Велики владалац српског народа, ујединитељ српских земаља, творац независне српске државе, бранитељ Православља, истребитељ јереси. Најпре био крштен у латинској цркви, но доцније ослободи се од те цркве и постане члан цркве православне. Најпре зависио у државном погледу од Грка, но доцније ослободио се те зависности и постао потпуно самосталан. Када је утврдио државу, и веру православну у држави, тада, по примеру свога сина Саве, прими монашки чин у манастиру Студеници 1195. године и добије име Симеон. Жена његова Ана такође прими монашки чин, добије име Анастасија и повуче се у женски манастир. После две године иночества у Студеници Симеон оде у Свету Гору. Ту се настани најпре у манастиру Ватопеду, заједно са Савом. Отац и син проводили су дане и ноћи у молитви. Ту су саградили шест параклиса: Спаситељу, Бесребреницима, светом Георгију, светом Теодору, Претечи и светом Николају. Купе рушевине Хиландара и саграде диван манастир, у коме Симеон поживи само осам месеци па сконча. Кад је био на издисају, Сава га, по његовој жељи, положи на просту рогозину. Са очима управљеним у икону Богоматере и Спаситеља блажени старац изусти ове речи: "Всјакоје диханије да хвалит Господа!" И пресели се ка Господу 13. фебруара 1200. године.
POMOZIMO DOVRSETAK NAŠE NOVE CRKVE! OVO JE JEDINSTVENA PRILIKA U ŽIVOTU DA POKAŽEMO DA SMO VREDNI NAŠIH SVETIH PREDAKA.
LET US HELP THE BUILDING OF OUR NEW CHURCH! THIS IS ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY
