Saint Jerome Stridon confessor relic and document

Saint Jerome Stridon confessor relic and document

Jerome (/dʒəˈroʊm/; Latin: Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus; Ancient Greek: Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος; c. 342–347 – 30 September 420), also known as Jerome of Stridon, was an early Christian priest, confessor, theologian, translator, and historian; he is commonly known as Saint Jerome.

He is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the whole Bible. Jerome attempted to create a translation of the Old Testament based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint, as prior Latin Bible translations had done. His list of writings is extensive. In addition to his biblical works, he wrote polemical and historical essays, always from a theologian's perspective.[3]

This is a really nice relic of saint Jerome of Stridon

a silvered relic holder 

not big but hard to find in this condition

issued by a well-known Jesuite postulator

came from a smoke free home and has minimal wear a bit of browning and some folds here and there but otherwise great shape

It's been over a year since we found one

If you combine the item with the saint asella relic we will give a nice discount

if you are not from the states contact us and we will give a 50 dollar discount, because we can only ship to the usa with DHL and this costs us a lot of money (more than the shipping cost we charge- so we had to raise our prices)
