DESCRIPTION:June 1st is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Simon Al-
 Zaytuni +734 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac Orthodox C
 hurch. \n\nMor Shem'un d'Zayte the son of Mundhir\, was a native of Habsna
 s in Tur'Abdin\,Turkey. He undertook religious studies & eventually became
  a monk at Dayro d’Mor Gabriel (Qartmin Monastery) around 657AD. In 682A
 D\, he was ordained a priest & was appointed the Abbot of Dayro d’Mor Ga
 briel.\n\nSt. Simon is credited with building many churches & monasteries 
 in Tur’abdin. He carried out different projects\, using a valuable treas
 ure he found hidden in a cave. He planted 12\,000 olive trees that eventua
 lly met the demand for oil of all the churches & monasteries of Tur’abdi
 n. This earned him the nickname Al-Zaytuni (the Man of Olives). As he was 
 on good terms with the Muslim governor of Nisbis\, he could restore some c
 hurches there. In addition\, he built a mosque & school for the Muslim pop
 ulation of the city. He also made arrangements for copying manuscripts. At
  the time of his death there were 180 copies of manuscripts in the library
  of the monastery.\n\nIn A.D. 700\, St. Simon was elected Metropolitan of 
 Harran\, a city about twenty miles to the south of Edessa (modern Urfa)\, 
 & became known as one of the greatest prelates at the time in the Syriac C
 hurch. After his consecration\, he established a school in his home villag
 e\, Habsnas. In 726AD he attended the council of Manazgird. \n\nIn additio
 n to his asceticism\, piety & godliness\, he was a man of learning. He wro
 te many books in defense of the faith of the Syriac Orthodox Church\, espe
 cially against the Melkites (Chalcedonians). Mor Shem'un d'Zayte entered e
 ternal sleep on 1st June 734AD. \n\nBiography courtesy\, "Martyrs\, Saints
  and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church" \n\nOh Mor Shem'un d'Zayte! P
 lead for us before God's throne of grace. May the churches and monasteries
  of Tur'Abdin once again overflow with the blessed oil from your fields. A
 men.\n\nhttp://www.soc-wus.org/ourchurch/St.%20Shamoun%20d'Zayte.htm
