Apostle Simon the Zealot

Commemorated on May 10

Holy Apostle Simon entreat the merciful God to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.

Saint Simon was from Cana in Galilee, and was known to the Lord and His Mother. Tradition says that he was the bridegroom at the wedding where the Savior performed His first miracle. After witnessing the miracle of the water which had been turned into wine, he became a zealous follower of Christ. For this reason, he is known as Saint Simon the Zealot.

Saint Simon was one of the twelve Apostles, and received the Holy Spirit with the others on Pentecost. He traveled to many places from Britain to the Black Sea, proclaiming the Gospel of Christ. After winning many pagans to the Lord, Saint Simon suffered martyrdom by crucifixion.

Saint Demetrius of Rostov says that this Saint Simon is to be distinguished from the Apostle Simon Peter, and from the Lord’s relative Simon (Mt.13:55), who was the second Bishop of Jerusalem.

Saint Simon is also commemorated on June 30 with the other Apostles.

[Text from OCA]

With praise let us all bless Simon, the herald of God, who established the doctrines of wisdom securely in the souls of the pious. Now he stands before the throne of glory, and rejoicing with the angels, he unceasingly prays for us all.

Nonostante con Saint Simon si parli di sociologia, é in realtà August Comte, suo collaboratore e assistente, il fondatore del termine

SAINT OF THE DAY (February 18)

Simon is a relative of Jesus, possibly a first cousin.

He is in the Gospel of Matthew and is one of the brethren of Christ mentioned in Acts who was present at the birth of the Church on the first Pentecost.

Reported to have been at the martyrdom of Saint James the Lesser, he was chosen to succeed James as bishop of Jerusalem.

In 66, before the city fell to the Romans, the Christians received a divine warning and evacuated to nearby Pella, with Simon as their leader.

In the aftermath of the destruction of Jerusalem, Simon led the Christians back to the city where they flourished, performed miracles, and converted many.

Simon was eventually arrested, tortured, and martyred for the twin crimes of being Jewish and Christian.

His death was that of crucifixion.

“La foi positiviste dans le progrès induite par le système industriel se trouve au cœur de la dévalorisation moderne du politique. Pour Saint-Simon, la vérité du politique se trouve dans l’économique. C’est donc dire que le politique, donc l’Etat, est nécessairement source d’opacité et de bruits, qui empêchent les flux, principalement monétaires, de circuler efficacement. L’idéologie du réseau vise ainsi la suppression du politique, puisqu’il est considéré comme un détournement des flux de circulation d’argent et de pouvoir.

Durante questo periodo, i contrasti tra il tenore di vita della borghesia e quello del proletariato industriale, generarono una vera e propria "questione sociale". I primi ad occuparsi di questa problematica furono Saint Simon, teorico della filosofia positiva e di un approccio scientifico ai problemi sociali, assieme al suo assistente August Comte. Il positivismo è, difatti, una corrente di pensiero figlia dell'illuminismo. Proprio come l'illuminismo riteneva fondamentale il progresso culturale; affinché ciò si verificasse era nessario progredore anche in campo sociale
