Tags: Saint.
Symeon the New Theologian (Greek: Συμεὼν ὁ Νέος Θεολόγος; 949–1022 AD) was a Byzantine Christian monk and poet who was the last of three saints canonized by the Eastern Orthodox church and given the title of Theologian (along with John the Apostle and Gregory of Nazianzus). Theologian was not applied to Symeon in the modern academic sense of theological study but to recognize someone who spoke from personal experience of the vision of God.
