St. Symeon Stylites the Younger

521–592 · Wondrous Mountain, near Antioch · Feast May 24

Symeon climbed his first pillar at seven, after Christ appeared to him as a child, and lived on pillars for the rest of his long life. He settled on a hill near Antioch called the Wondrous Mountain, and crowds came for his prayers and healings. He was ordained a priest on his pillar and served the Liturgy there.
