Our venerable and God-bearing Father '''Simeon the Myrrh-flowing''', in the world '''Stefan Nemanja''', (in Serbian: '''Преподобни Симеон Мироточивиу свијету''') was a Serbian ruler, [[monk]], and [[saint]] in the 12th century. He is the father of St. [[Sava of Serbia]]. His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[February 13]].
== Early life==
Stefan Nemanja was born in 1113 or 1114 in town of Ribnica (today Podgorica, Montenegro). His father Zavida, a member of ruling dynasty of Raška (the most important Serbian state of the Serbs), was exiled in principality of Duklja, a minor Serbian state. Nemanja was [[baptism|baptized]] by a [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] [[priest]] because there was no Orthodox [[priest]] in Ribnica. When Zavid came back in Raška, his youngest son was re-baptized by the [[bishop]] of Ras Kalink.
