Gerasimus was born into a wealthy family in the province of Lycia, the southern part of Asia Minor, but he left his family's wealth and worldly affairs to become a monk. Saint Gerasimus went to Palestine and settled in the wilderness near the Jordan River. There he established a monastery. He is known for his righteous life of asceticism and prayer. The story of Gerasimus and the lion, when the saint tamed the animal by removing a thorn from its paw and taught it obedience, became widely known in the Christian world. His feast day is celebrated on 4 March by the Eastern Orthodox Church and on 5 March by the Roman Catholic Church.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49414585811248,"sku":"BDh0sa","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/h0sa-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773520616","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-h0sa","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
