They built Qartmin Dayro in Tur Abdin Tu rkey. Currently known as St. Gabriel Monastery (Dayro d-Mor Gabriel/Deyrul mur)\; it is the oldest functioning Christian monastery in the world. Acco rding to tradition Mor Shem'un had a dream in which an angel of the Lord c ommanded him to build a House of Prayer in a location marked with three la rge stone blocks. When Simon awoke\, he took his teacher Mor Shmuel to the place & found the stone the angel had placed. At this spot the Qartmin Mo nastery was built. \n\nSimon was born in Qartmin village. His father was a leader of the village. When he was 4 years old\, he was healed through th e prayers of Mor Shmuel. Later\, his father took him back to the saint & h e was ordained a monk & joined Samuel. \n\nOne night\, the angel of the Lo rd appeared to Simon in the form of his teacher Mor Shmuel & showed him th e plan of the future monastery which was laid down on the foundations of a n existing pagan temple. The angel & Simon together placed stones across t he perimeter of what was to become them monastery. Simon did not realize i t was actually an angel & not his teacher. The next day Mor Shmuel was ast onished when he was told of what transpired\, but he understood it was an angel. Together the two Qartmin fathers would build the monastery starting in 396/397AD. In time\, the number of monks who joined their ranks increa sed. \n\nAfter the death of the aged Mor Shmuel\, Simon took over the admi nistration of the monastery. Mor Shem'un did not sleep on the earth. He re sted on his knees. He loved night vigils & in order to defeat sleep he hun g himself upright by ropes. He would then continue in his meditation givin g glory & praise to his Lord. Mor Shem'un was strong in battle with Satan. He was awake in his service. He served more than his brother monks. Our L ord gave him power\, strength & he performed many wonders & miracles. Mor Shem'un would repose in the Lord on January 19th 433AD. He was entombed in the Beth Qadishe of Dayro d-Mor Gabriel.\n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Mart yrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church'\n\nOh Mor Shem'un Qartminoyo!
