09 — Legacy

What Simeon founded outlived every Serbian state. This closing section treats the holy Nemanjić dynasty that grew from him — the ruling house that was also a line of saints — the founding pair of Serbian Orthodoxy he forms with his son St. Sava, and the living veneration of St. Simeon the Myrrh-Gusher today, at Studenica, at Hilandar, and wherever the Serbian Church has spread.

Tradition: Serbian Orthodox

  • The Holy Dynasty and Serbian Orthodoxy — Simeon as the root of the Nemanjić holy dynasty and, with St. Sava, the founding pair of Serbian Orthodoxy; the symphony of church and nation begun in his cult.
  • Veneration Today — the feast of 13/26 February, the shrines at Studenica and Hilandar, the paired cult with St. Sava, and Simeon’s place in the memory and identity of the Serbian people.
