Hieronymus of Stridon:
Full Latin name Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus.
(Stridon, c. 347 – Bethlehem, 30 September 420).
Writer, translator and hermit in early Christianity. He is also often considered a church teacher, church father and saint in Christianity. The Roman Catholic Church counts him among the four great church fathers of the West.
Between 390 and 405, he made a translation of the Bible into colloquial Latin (sermo humilis): the Vulgate. At the Council of Trent (1545-1563), over 1100 years later, the Catholic Church declared this translation to be the only authoritative text.
His feast day is 30 September in the Catholic Church, 15 June in the Orthodox Church. In Christian iconography, Jerome is often depicted with a lion.
The face is the mirror of the mind, and the eyes confess without speaking the secrets of the heart.
