Pasabag |
|
A fairy chimney of three peaks at Pasabag was used as a cell by a monk named Simeon. Bearing the same first name as that of St. Stylite who had lived in solitary at the top of a column in Syria, this monk made the bed and sitting furniture in his cell by carving them out of the rock. Pasabag also contains a chapel dedicated to St. Simeon. In one other chapel, a striking inscription reads, as follows: “O Grave, Take me unto you as you took Stylite.” |
