エルサレム総主教庁
Sometime between 565 and 578 the body believed to be that of Simeon, was translated from Syria (or Jerusalem) to Constantinople. Sometime around the Siege of Constantinople (1203) the relics were seized and shipped to Venice; however, a storm forced the ship to put in to the port of Zadar on the Dalmatian coast. The relics were first placed in the "Velika Gospa" (Church of the Virgin) and then later to the Church of St. Stephen, which became known as the Sanctuary of St. Simeon the Godbearer. Simeon is one of the four patron saints of the city; his feast day is celebrated on October 8. In October 2010, Archbishop Želimir Puljić of Zadar conveyed a small silver reliquary containing a portion of the saints relics to Archbishop Theofylactus of Jordan, representing Theophilos III, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem for the monastery of St. Simeon the Godbearer in Jerusalem.
