Orthodox icon of Saint Jerome, Hieronymus, Bishop of Stridonium.

Commemorated June 15.

Saint Jerome of Stridonium was born into a Christian family in the city of Stridonium located on the border between Dalmatia and Pannonia. His full name is Eusebius Hieronymos Sophronius. His parents sent him to Rome, where he studied the secular sciences. At the beginning of his life in the capital, the youth was captivated by worldly vanities and fell into temptation. At the end of his time in Rome, Jerome resolved to change his life and to live in goodness and purity. When the youth was about 20 years old, he accepted holy Baptism. After this he visited in Gaul (France). Then St Jerome decided to dedicate himself totally to God, and to become a monk.

In about the year 372 St Jerome returned to his native city, but his parents had already departed this life. On him fell the responsibility of raising his younger sisters and his brother Paulinian. These cares forced him to put aside his plans to enter a monastery, at least for a time.

Having made arrangements for the care of his siblings, he journeyed to the East with several of his friends. In 374, he decided to dwell in the desert of Chalcis southeast of Antioch. There he remained for about 5 years, combining work on the Holy Scriptures with austere ascetic deeds. Besides this, St Jerome mastered the Hebrew and Chaldean languages. During this period he began his correspondence with numerous persons upon a variety of questions. About 120 letters, considered as authentically written by St Jerome, have been preserved.

But because the saint denounced the morals of the contemporary Christian society, a whole party of those bearing malice towards the saint came forward to spread slanders about him. After a three year stay at Rome, St Jerome felt compelled to abandon this city for good. Together with his brother Paulinian and friends, St Jerome visited the Holy Land, and also the monks of the Nitria wilderness monastery. In the year 386 he settled into a cave at Bethlehem near the cave where Christ was born, and there he began a life of austere asceticism.

This was the period of blossoming of his creative activity. Attending to the studies of his time, St Jerome left to the Church a rich written legacy: collections of dogmatic-polemic works, moral-ascetic works, commentaries on Scripture, and historical works. But the most important of his works was a new translation the books of the Old and New Testaments into the Latin language. This Latin translation is called the “Vulgate,” and it passed into general use throughout the Western Church.

St Jerome lived through the fall of his beloved city Rome, which was sacked by the Goths in the year 410. In the year 411 a new ordeal beset the saint, Bethlehem was invaded by wild Bedouin Arabs. Only through the mercy of God was the community of the aged ascetic saved from complete destruction. He finished his life at the cave in Bethlehem. St Jerome is believed to have reposed in 420. His relics were transferred from Bethlehem to Rome in 642, but their present location is unknown. His hand is enshrined in a church near Rome’s Piazza Farnese.

Super cute and soft!
Size: 3T, Color: Light Mauve
Daughter fits very well in this pink pullover sweater. It’s true to size very pleased with the make of the sweater, it’s made very well very soft, is medium thickness and is warm for my daughter to wear in NY’s cool fall weather and now winter with a coat of course. Also is not to thick where wearing a coat could be an issue. Great value for your money in the product you are getting it washes well and stains come out easily sometimes with a little help. Great buy must have!

Extremely soft and warm!!
Size: 2T, Color: Bright Pink
This is a really nice thick toddler hoodie! I bought the dark pink in a size 2t for my 25 month old daughter. She weighs 28 pounds. It is a great fit and also has a little wiggle room. The hoodie is extremely soft and comfortable. Keeps her toasty warm. Holds up in the wash, no shrinking. Came packaged well, no funky smell, arrived on time. Overall a great purchase

runs small
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
This hoodie is cute, cozy, and apparently designed for a child who has never met a growth spurt. It runs really small, like “did I accidentally order doll clothes?” small. The fabric feels nice and soft though, and right out of the package it looked well made and sturd... no loose threads or sketchy seams. Just definitely size up unless you’re planning for a very snug, fashion-forward moment. I bought this hoodie specifically to add a vinyl decal, and for that purpose it worked great. The material took the vinyl nicely, pressed well, and didn’t scorch or warp, which is always a relief when you’re hovering over a heat press like a nervous parent. It also washes nicely and still looks good after laundering… though it did shrink a little, which did not help its already petite situation. the material is thick and nice weight. Pros: good quality fabric, soft and comfy, great surface for vinyl decals, washes well. Cons: runs very small, shrinks a bit after washing, value is average unless you size up. Overall, it’s a nice little hoodie that does the job—as long as you order with future growth (and laundry shrinkage) firmly in mind.

Children's outerwear, a must have .. excellent quality, fit & price!
Size: X-Small, Color: White
One of the very best pull over sweatshirts I've come across. Quality fabric with an amazing cut & fit that rises above the standard, more boxy cut of children's sweatshirts I've purchased in the past. With an 8 year old granddaughter that's constantly on the go & is never cold lol, I needed a piece of outerwear that wasn't too thick, bulky or restrictive that she'd forget she was wearing. A piece of clothing that would keep her warm yet comfortable, thru out her day & boy did I hit the jackpot. All of the above plus an overall amazing fit & stylish look I wasn't expecting but could tell she absolutely loved. An added bonus, after at least 15 or more washes to-date, it still looks & fits as good as it did the very first time she wore it. I've since purchased other similar items but none compare. An excellent buy !!!!
