In 1769, during the Russo-Turkish War, Saint Gherasim refused to reveal the location of Tismana Monastery's hidden treasures to Turkish soldiers. He endured torture and was beheaded for his unwavering loyalty to his faith and his monastic community. His sacrifice protected the monastery and its spiritual heritage. Saint Gherasim, pray to God for us!
