St. Jerome (Eusebius Hieronymus)

St. Jerome, also known as Eusebius Hieronymus, was a prominent Christian scholar and translator in the 4th and 5th centuries. He is most famous for translating the Bible into Latin, creating the **Vulgate**, which became the standard Bible for the Catholic Church for centuries. Jerome was a learned man who studied many languages, including Hebrew and Greek, to accurately interpret biblical texts. His work greatly influenced Christian theology, worship, and scholarship, making the scriptures accessible to Latin-speaking Europeans. He also contributed to biblical commentaries and writings on ascetic life, earning him the title of Church Father and a key figure in Christian history.
