The Divine Promise Saint Simeon was a scholar translating the Bible from Hebrew to Greek. When he reached the prophecy "a virgin shall conceive and bear a son," he doubted it. An angel appeared and told him he would not die until he saw the Messiah with his own eyes.

The Meeting (Sretenje): Simeon lived for over 300 years, waiting for the promise. When Mary and Joseph brought baby Jesus to the Temple, Simeon recognized Him immediately. He took the Child in his arms—becoming the "God-receiver"—and finally found peace.

Significance Saint Simeon is the patron saint of children and the elderly. His icon is a powerful symbol of faith, patience, and the blessing of new life. It is traditionally gifted for baptisms and to families seeking protection for their children.
