Desk Frame - St. Jerome by A. Olivas

San Geronimo was a 4th century scholar, monk, and hermit. After many years of travel, scholarship, and study Geronimo finally settled in Bethlehem where he translated the Bible from Greek and Hebrew to Latin. This translation of the Bible became known as the famous Vulgate Bible. In Jerusalem Geronimo guided the order of nuns founded by St Paula. Geronimo is often depicted in sacred art performing penance in a cave with a lion at his feet. Sometimes the trumpet of God hovers nearby.
