Saint Alympias Stolpnik is a Christian ascetic from the 7th century. He wanted to live alone, he retired to a Greek cemetery from which people fled because of the belief in demonic apparitions. There he settled on a pillar, having previously removed the pagan symbols and erected a cross. He spent most of his life on the pillar in cold and heat, fasting and praying (according to Christian tradition, about 53 years). This is why he was called a Stolpnik and remained consistent despite the temptations and ridicule of people. Finally, after a while, people began to respect him and come to him for comfort, instruction and believed healing powers.
The church celebrates this saint - Alympias Day on November 26 according to the old calendar, or December 9 according to the new one, and his skull is located in the treasury of the Kutlumuš monastery in Svetogorje. He is also revered in the Roman Catholic Church.
