Wisdom of The Desert Fathers is a new series to our channel that focuses on the lives, miracles, and wisdom of important Orthodox ascetics. In the sixth video of the series we discuss the life of Saint Gerasimos of Jordan and his great asceticism. We outline key events from his life, including a moving and impressive relationship between him and a lion he ran into in the wild.
