The image captures his unwavering devotion to his faith and commitment to solitude as he spent seven years in seclusion within a Syrian monastery before embarking on an extraordinary journey atop a towering 72-foot pillar for the next three decades. St Simeon's striking presence is emphasized by his long beard and kneeling posture, symbolizing humility and endurance. Clutching a cross close to his heart, he radiates spiritual strength that resonates with viewers across time. The woodcut style adds depth and texture, enhancing the intensity of this religious portrait.
