Orthodox icon of Saint Gerasimus of the Jordan River.

Commemorated March 4.

Saint Gerasimus who was a native of Lycia (Asia Minor). St Gerasimus established a strict monastic Rule. He spent five days of the week in solitude, occupying himself with handicrafts and prayer. On these days the wilderness dwellers did not eat cooked food, nor did they kindle a fire, but ate only dry bread, roots and water. On Saturday and Sunday all gathered at the monastery for Divine Liturgy and to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.

In the afternoon, taking a supply of bread, tubers, water and an armload of date-palm branches for weaving baskets, the desert-dwellers returned to their own cells. Each had only old clothes and a mat, upon which he slept. When they left their cells, the door was never locked, so that anyone could enter and rest, or take whatever he needed. During Great Lent he ate nothing until the very day of the All-Radiant Resurrection of Christ, when he received the Holy Mysteries.u00a0 The monks of his monastery were fond of recalling how a lion came to greatly love the saint and served him obediently and with great humility. One day, as St. Gerasimos was walking through the Jordan desert, he met a lion.

The lion stretched out his paw and St. Gerasimos saw that it was infected and very swollen. The lion gazed pleadingly and meekly at the elder who sat down immediately to inspect the paw. He discovered that a thorn had lodged in the lion's paw and this was the cause of his suffering. The saint carefully removed the thorn, cleansed the wound of all the pus and then wrapped it with a cloth. From then on the lion faithfully followed the saint like a disciple. St. Gerasimus fell asleep in the Lord in the year 475 and was buried by his sorrowing brethren there in his monastery.

The lion was not there at the time and when it returned he was ookng for the saint. One of the monks tried to explain but could not communicat to the lion. Finally he went to the grave and fell down weeping. The lion now realized what had happened. He gave one last mighty roar, struck his head on the ground and died on the elder's grave. The lion's love and devotion for St. Gerasimos is an example of the love and obedience the animals had for Adam before his fall into sin and his expulsion from Paradise. This is why in icons of Saint Gerasimus you will normally see a lion shown at his feet.

Nice Patek Phillip replica!
Color: Rose gold, Color: Rose gold
Nice watch! Doesn't look cheap. Casual and office wear, both ok. Removing links was easy. Decent size, good on my wrist. These days smaller watches are in trend and it does fit the requirement. Color is fancy. In low light conditions it does get darker hues and it looks even better to me.

Packaging is most disappointing
Color: Black
Giving a 3-star at the moment because I just received the watch and usually comment on a new collection addition after about a week. •biggest turn off and cause for 3 star upon receipt is because of packaging. The main box seemed already used and returned or carelessly handled & very basic. How it's advertised & described as well as the image seller portrays of the product, the packaging fails at "luxury" depiction. •Link removal tool is very basic but this was a $23.00 watch. Because I am a collector I knew to pay attention to how pins are removed and had no problems removing the 4 links required to meet my desired size. •A few reviews said it's heavy and I'm used to pretty heavy + 44-48mm bezels so to my standards, I wouldn't 100% say it feels cheap(i mean c'mon it is so can't be too judgemental) but it slightly does feel "toyish" •Bracelet out the package even with plastic all over, came with two dot sized blemishes i keep focusing on and upset at. •Many reviews said after two hours, the time isn't accurate; thus far, time is fine •A few reviews said the double clasp is weak. 1 time it did loose but after removing links, ive done a lot of shaking and wrist action to test the clasps and nothing so far to match others experience •It has a nice appearance, can pass for business and casual •For a $26.00 watch after taxes I'm not disappointed as of yet besides the blemishes and packaging but will revisit in a week or so. •I read that the date doesn't keep accurately so I will update review after a trial period • I will say, if you dress correctly with this piece, I feel it has potential to draw attention from it's design

All time favorite watch
This watch is amazing for the price. I have had mine for 5 years or so and I wear it regularly. It's very comfortable resin strap. The design of the face is I think stunningly beautiful. Yes that is a bit strong for a $25 watch but the way the globe pops out, the legibility on par with a high priced dive watch and the funcationality of a timer, stop watch, world time and a data bank you will never use, but still.. cool watch!

Handy
Very easy for old eyes to read, can even see the date if light is good. Light weight for a largish watch. Seems rugged enough for me and the price is right for a beater watch.
