"Reb Shimon Kohen Ha Tzaddik"

He was the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) at the beginning of the Second Temple for 40 years (about 2,000 years ago) and was incredibly righteous (a Tzaddik) and an enlightened spiritual leader. The King Alexander the Great had visions and dreams of a great holy man prior to meeting Reb Shimon Kohen Ha Tzaddik and then when he finally saw him, he stepped off his chariot and bowed down to this Holy Man. His advisors who saw this asked him how can you, the King, bow down to this man? Alexander replied the image of this Holy Man triumphs before me in visions on the battle field.

His Kever is located in the ancient Jewish neighborhood of East Jerusalem slightly to the Northeast of the Temple Mount
