Sophronius Eusebius Jerome (born 347 in Stridon, Dalmatia; died September 30, 420 in Bethlehem, Syria Palaestina) was a scholar and theologian of the early church. He was a Doctor of the Church and is venerated in various Christian denominations as a saint and as a Church Father. He belongs in the Catholic Church with Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo and Gregory the Great to the four so-called great church fathers of late antiquity. His memorial day on September 30 is celebrated in the Orthodox Churches, the Roman Catholic Church and the Armenian Church. The Protestant Calendar of Names also lists him on September 30.
