St. Gerasimos of the Jordan (5th century) - great ascetic of Palestine, founder of the famous lavra on the banks of the Jordan River. Tradition recounts how he healed a wounded lion in the desert by removing a thorn from its paw, after which the animal stayed by his side for the rest of his life and even mourned him after his death. For this reason St. Gerasimos is most often depicted in Orthodox iconography with a lion at his feet.
His feast day is March 4. The icon of St. Gerasimos is a symbol of the reconciliation of man and nature, of asceticism and meekness - a reminder that Orthodox spirituality renews the bond between creation and the Creator. Especially beloved among people who love animals and among those who seek a life of quiet faith.
