Venerable Martyr Gherasim of Tismana, a monk of unwavering faith, faced martyrdom defending his monastery from invading Turks. Refusing to renounce Christianity, he was brutally beheaded, thus sealing his devotion to Christ. His sacrifice stands as a beacon of courage and steadfastness in the face of persecution.

O, Holy Gherasim, intercede for us that we may be granted strength to stand firm in our faith.
