Currently known as St. Gabriel Monastery (Dayro d-Mor Gabriel/Deyrulmur )\; it is the oldest functioning Christian monastery in the world. Accordi ng to tradition Mor Shem'un had a dream in which an angel of the Lord comm anded him to build a House of Prayer in a location marked with three large stone blocks. When Simon awoke\, he took his teacher Mor Shmuel to the pl ace &\; found the stone the angel had placed. At this spot the Qartmin Monastery was built. Simon was born in Qartmin village.
