Added: Bishop Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffa`'s mentioning of the miracle
The [[relics]] of St. Simon were discovered in 1991 in St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox church in Babylon, Old Cairo (known as the Hanging Church).
It is noteworthy that Bishop Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffa` was closely associated with both the Fatimid Caliph Al-Muizz Li-Deenillah and Pope Abraam (975-978 A.D.), and thus wrote with authority in his famous [[Severus of Al'Ashmunein (Hermopolis): History of the Patriarchs of the Coptic Church of Alexandria|Coptic History of the Patriarchs]] about the Mokattam Mountain miracle as an eyewitness of it.
