The life of St Symeon the Myrrh-streamer
He went to Mount Athos to join his youngest son, already a monk there under the name Sava, and together father and son secured from the Byzantine emperor the ruined site of Hilandar, which they rebuilt as a monastery for Serbian monks, completing the work by 1198. Simeon lived there only a short time before his death around 1199. Some years after his burial, when his relics were moved, witnesses reported that myrrh began flowing from them for several days, and from this he came to be called the Myrrh-streaming, or Myrrh-gusher. His relics were later translated to the monastery of Studenica in Serbia, which he himself had founded in his years as ruler. He is remembered together with his son Sava, first Archbishop of the Serbian Church, as a father of both the Serbian nation and its monastic life on Athos.
