Today was the festival of Saint Gerasimos. The small church of Agios Gerasimos is on top of a hill, which overlooks the island town of Ermioni. The views from this church are truly spectacular. Saint Gerasimos was born in 1503 in Trikala, Thessaly. He was ordained a monk at Mount Athos, then went to Jerusalem, where he lived for 12 years. He died 15 August 1579, and in 1622 he was made a Saint.
