Simeon of Dajbabe was a Serbian Orthodox hieromonk born Savo Popović in 1854 in Cetinje. After studying in Kiev and traveling through France and Switzerland, he entered monastic life at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. He eventually returned to Montenegro, where he founded the Dajbabe Monastery in a cave following a shepherd's vision. Serving as its first abbot, he lived an ascetic life and was highly respected by his contemporaries. He passed away in 1941, shortly before the invasion of Yugoslavia during the Second World War.
