Once when walking near the Jordan, St. Gerasimos came across a lion roaring in pain, as it had a large splinter embedded in its paw. Having compassion on the lion, St. Gerasimos made the Sign of the Cross and removed the splinter. The lion became tame and followed the saint back to his monastery and when he died, the lion lay down on his grave and died from his grief
