Orthodox icon of Saint Jerome, Hieronymus, Bishop of Stridonium.

Commemorated June 15.

Saint Jerome of Stridonium was born into a Christian family in the city of Stridonium located on the border between Dalmatia and Pannonia. His full name is Eusebius Hieronymos Sophronius. His parents sent him to Rome, where he studied the secular sciences. At the beginning of his life in the capital, the youth was captivated by worldly vanities and fell into temptation. At the end of his time in Rome, Jerome resolved to change his life and to live in goodness and purity. When the youth was about 20 years old, he accepted holy Baptism. After this he visited in Gaul (France). Then St Jerome decided to dedicate himself totally to God, and to become a monk.

In about the year 372 St Jerome returned to his native city, but his parents had already departed this life. On him fell the responsibility of raising his younger sisters and his brother Paulinian. These cares forced him to put aside his plans to enter a monastery, at least for a time.

Having made arrangements for the care of his siblings, he journeyed to the East with several of his friends. In 374, he decided to dwell in the desert of Chalcis southeast of Antioch. There he remained for about 5 years, combining work on the Holy Scriptures with austere ascetic deeds. Besides this, St Jerome mastered the Hebrew and Chaldean languages. During this period he began his correspondence with numerous persons upon a variety of questions. About 120 letters, considered as authentically written by St Jerome, have been preserved.

But because the saint denounced the morals of the contemporary Christian society, a whole party of those bearing malice towards the saint came forward to spread slanders about him. After a three year stay at Rome, St Jerome felt compelled to abandon this city for good. Together with his brother Paulinian and friends, St Jerome visited the Holy Land, and also the monks of the Nitria wilderness monastery. In the year 386 he settled into a cave at Bethlehem near the cave where Christ was born, and there he began a life of austere asceticism.

This was the period of blossoming of his creative activity. Attending to the studies of his time, St Jerome left to the Church a rich written legacy: collections of dogmatic-polemic works, moral-ascetic works, commentaries on Scripture, and historical works. But the most important of his works was a new translation the books of the Old and New Testaments into the Latin language. This Latin translation is called the “Vulgate,” and it passed into general use throughout the Western Church.

St Jerome lived through the fall of his beloved city Rome, which was sacked by the Goths in the year 410. In the year 411 a new ordeal beset the saint, Bethlehem was invaded by wild Bedouin Arabs. Only through the mercy of God was the community of the aged ascetic saved from complete destruction. He finished his life at the cave in Bethlehem. St Jerome is believed to have reposed in 420. His relics were transferred from Bethlehem to Rome in 642, but their present location is unknown. His hand is enshrined in a church near Rome’s Piazza Farnese.

A Clean rear shouldn’t break the bank.
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
If you're on a budget but still want a reliable bathroom companion, look no further! This bathroom tissue strikes a good balance between strength and softness—it may not be the cloud of fluff that some might prefer, it's a decent swipe when you need to wipe. After 58 years of toilet tissue trials, my rear has developed quite the resilience, so I appreciate a roll that does the job without fuss. Plus, it plays nicely with our plumbing, avoiding troublesome clogs that can come from some of the plush options available. It’s a solid pick for those who know the importance of quality without breaking the bank!

Good everyday option for the price
Size: 6 Rolls (350 Sheets each)
Honestly, this toilet paper is better than I expected for a basic brand. It’s soft enough for everyday use and doesn’t fall apart too easily. The rolls last a decent amount of time and it’s convenient having them delivered instead of buying bulky packs at the store. For the price, I think it’s a practical option if you want something affordable that still feels comfortable and reliable.

Rough Texture and Faster-Than-Expected Usage
Size: 350 sheet (Pack of 30)
I chose this bulk pack expecting a balance between softness and durability, but the overall experience has been underwhelming. Despite being labeled as 2-ply, the paper feels thinner and less cushioned than anticipated, which affects comfort during use. It also tends to tear unevenly, requiring more sheets than expected to get the job done effectively. Over time, I noticed that the rolls don’t last as long as they should based on the sheet count, likely due to the lower density of the material. While it does break down as expected for septic systems, the trade-off in quality is noticeable. Overall, it doesn’t provide the level of comfort or efficiency I was looking for in a daily-use product.

Great price! Great Paper towel!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 2)
These Amazon brand paper towels are great! They are the multi tear size, which is perfect for different uses. The price is good and they clean windows and glass wonderfully. Softness is so so, but if you don’t have an issue with that, then these are a great buy! I definitely recommend!
