One year after his death, Simeon was recognized as a saint by the community of Mount Athos, for [[Chrism|holy oil]] seeped from his [[relics]]. It is written that this miracle didn't occur in the past three centuries. Even today his relics give forth a sweet smell. Serbian medieval writers describe numerous [[miracle]]s of St. Simeon.
His relics were brought to Serbia by St. Sava in order to end civil war between Stefan and Vukan. Sava put his father's relics in Studenica Monastery. He reconciled his brothers on their father's tomb. Later the relics of his sons Stefan and Vukan, his wife Ana, and his grandson king Radoslav were placed in Studenica.
