The story of Gerasimus and the lion, when the saint tamed the animal by removing a thorn from its paw and taught it obedience, became widely known in the Christian world.
Sheekada Gerasimus iyo libaaxa, markii awliyadu xayawaanka ku rabbeeyay isagoo qodax ka saaraysa cagihiisa oo baray addeecid, ayaa si weyn looga yaqaanay dunida Masiixiyiinta.
