Feast of Saint Jerome
Today is the feast of Saint Jerome; a priest, theologian and historian who retired to the desert to live a life of prayer and penance. It is said that St. Jerome once befriended a lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and he is often depicted with this companion.
Here he is pictured with the lion in his study in an engraving by Albrecht Dürer, c. 1514. http://bit.ly/2xg3dn6
