Saint Simeon Stylites the Younger also known as 'St. Simeon of the Admirable Mountain' (Arabic: مار سمعان العمودي الأصغر mār semʻān l-ʻamūdī l-asghar) (521 – May 24, 597) is a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Catholic Churches of Eastern and Latin Rites.
In 1931 he began writing his six-day-a-week editorial column called "Simeon Stylites", named after Saint Simeon Stylites, a 5th-century ascetic who lived on top of a pillar for 39 years.
