Saint Gerasimos of the Jordan (5th century AD) was a hermit and abbot whose holy life made the Jordan Valley a place of grace and miracles. A disciple of Saint Euthymius, he founded a monastery near the River Jordan that still bears his name today. He is beloved for his compassion toward both people and creatures — most famously taming a lion that served him until its death. His humility, hospitality to pilgrims, and radiant peace made him a model of Christian love in the Holy Land.
Venerated by the Eastern Orthodox, Melkite Greek Catholic, and Roman Catholic Churches, Saint Gerasimos is honored as a protector of travelers and a symbol of gentle strength in Christ.
