Dec. 19 Athos - Monastery Republic: For those on Athos who may be inclned to miss a service, the simandron is there to remind them of their duties. The simandron is a long wooden plank carried by a deacan who strikes it rhythmically with a wooden hammer as he walks around the katholikon. This custom traces its origin to Noah who went around his Ark striking its wooden hull to call forth all living creatures
