Stylite Column

From this lofty position, a great man interprets the wisdom of God for those below.

Saint Symeon Stylites exemplified and embodied ascetic Christianity, eschewing the finery of civilisation for a life free from material pleasures. He chose, due to an increasing number of followers and distractions, to live upon the top of a pillar in the ruins of Telanissa, with food and water being delivered to him by locals. Symeon eventually remained there for 37 years. Though it began at only a humble nine feet tall, the original pillar was replaced several times over the years, with the final one allegedly over fifty feet in height and protected by a high wall. Ironically, this determination to escape distractions resulted in even more visitors, and more frequently, as they wished to see the man on the column and ask him questions. It is said that Symeon was so famous and revered that even the Roman Emperor Theodosius II respected his words. The remains of his church - the "Qelaat Semaan" ("Fortress of Simeon") - and the base of his column still exist today, around twenty miles northwest of the city of Aleppo, in Syria.
