St. Symeon the New Theologian (946 � 1022) � is the unique phenomenon of the Christian culture, the mirror of orthodox religion, who introduced the most creative view on the theology of fathers of church. The essence of his theological and philosophical speculations is the teaching about conscious seeing of God already in this earthly life on the basis of belief in God, hope, love, fasting, prayer, following the commandments and participating in the Church�s life. The mystical knowledge of the God is connected with the spiritual birth of man, his transformation, his becoming God. Man becomes God thanks to God�s blessing and obtaining immortality the symbol of which is st. remains. The orthodox creativity of st. Symeon � is the reminder to our contemporary about the real possibility of spiritual life in our materialistic age.
