Mary arrived to be purified
in the holy Temple where did reside
     Anna and Simeon
     who each had a vision
of Jesus to be shared and magnified.

Mary heard their child would be a sign
for the fall and rise of many in time,
     revealed as the light
     for gentiles delight
bringing salvation by God's design.

Luke 2.22-38

Simeon the Syrian
born in 390
carried to extreme
self-denial and mortification. 
For thirty seven years
he resided atop a six foot wide pillar
seeking redemption, 
giving advice to peers,  
and preaching the word.
From about ten feet high
to seventy feet,
new pillars stood closer to God.
His legacy carried on to 1900 AD
as new martyrs came forth 
to continue his word.

*From Greek “Stylos” meaning Pillar
