Orthodox icon of Saint Gerasimus of the Jordan River.

Commemorated March 4.

Saint Gerasimus who was a native of Lycia (Asia Minor). St Gerasimus established a strict monastic Rule. He spent five days of the week in solitude, occupying himself with handicrafts and prayer. On these days the wilderness dwellers did not eat cooked food, nor did they kindle a fire, but ate only dry bread, roots and water. On Saturday and Sunday all gathered at the monastery for Divine Liturgy and to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.

In the afternoon, taking a supply of bread, tubers, water and an armload of date-palm branches for weaving baskets, the desert-dwellers returned to their own cells. Each had only old clothes and a mat, upon which he slept. When they left their cells, the door was never locked, so that anyone could enter and rest, or take whatever he needed. During Great Lent he ate nothing until the very day of the All-Radiant Resurrection of Christ, when he received the Holy Mysteries.u00a0 The monks of his monastery were fond of recalling how a lion came to greatly love the saint and served him obediently and with great humility. One day, as St. Gerasimos was walking through the Jordan desert, he met a lion.

The lion stretched out his paw and St. Gerasimos saw that it was infected and very swollen. The lion gazed pleadingly and meekly at the elder who sat down immediately to inspect the paw. He discovered that a thorn had lodged in the lion's paw and this was the cause of his suffering. The saint carefully removed the thorn, cleansed the wound of all the pus and then wrapped it with a cloth. From then on the lion faithfully followed the saint like a disciple. St. Gerasimus fell asleep in the Lord in the year 475 and was buried by his sorrowing brethren there in his monastery.

The lion was not there at the time and when it returned he was ookng for the saint. One of the monks tried to explain but could not communicat to the lion. Finally he went to the grave and fell down weeping. The lion now realized what had happened. He gave one last mighty roar, struck his head on the ground and died on the elder's grave. The lion's love and devotion for St. Gerasimos is an example of the love and obedience the animals had for Adam before his fall into sin and his expulsion from Paradise. This is why in icons of Saint Gerasimus you will normally see a lion shown at his feet.

Great product
Style: Standard, Size: 3 Count
Title: Good product, worth buying “I’m happy with this purchase. The product arrived on time and was easy to use. The quality is good for the price, and it works as expected. I’ve been using it for a few days and haven’t had any major issues. There are a couple of small things that could be improved, but overall it does the job well. I would recommend it to others looking for a reliable option.”

A must have for great tasting water
Style: Standard, Size: 6
These Brita filters are a staple in my house. They’re super easy to swap out and start working right away. The difference in water taste is noticeable—no more chlorine or odd aftertaste, just clean, fresh water. I love buying the multi-pack because it lasts for months and saves me from constantly reordering. Each filter holds up well and keeps the water consistently tasting great. It’s also a great alternative to bottled water, which saves money and cuts down on plastic use. Simple, reliable, and totally worth it!

Fast, quality filtration
Style: Standard, Size: 3 Count
Bought these for our Brita pitcher. Three in a pack is a good number for the price. They fit perfectly, as they should. No issues with leaking or clogging. We have pretty good water anyway but it's nice to run it through one more thing just to make sure. These work very quickly, especially compared to how I remember Britas working when I was a kid.

The Simple Classic: Effective Filtration and Great Everyday Value
Style: Standard, Size: 2 Count
I've been using the Brita Everyday Pitcher for years, and it continues to be the best, most reliable solution for everyday filtered water. While there are more expensive pitchers out there, this model hits the sweet spot of affordability, capacity, and performance. Taste and Filtration The difference in taste is noticeable immediately. It does a fantastic job of removing the chlorine taste and odor from my tap water, making it much cleaner and more enjoyable to drink. It's excellent for making coffee, tea, and just hydrating throughout the day. I use the standard filters, which are easy to find and change out every couple of months. Design and Capacity The 10-cup capacity is perfect for a small family or an individual who drinks a lot of water. The rectangular design fits perfectly in the refrigerator door without taking up excessive space. It's a simple, no-frills design, which is exactly what I prefer—no electronic filter indicators, just reliable, clean water. Value For the price of the pitcher and the replacement filters, the Brita Standard is an unbeatable value. It’s a durable, no-nonsense product that delivers exactly what it promises: better-tasting water every day. If you're looking for an affordable, effective workhorse of a water filter pitcher, this is it.

Good Long Lasting Filters
Style: Standard, Size: 4 Count
I've been using Brita pitchers for years and these replacement filters continue to be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve the taste of regular tap water without installing a full filtration system. The biggest improvement is definitely the taste. After installing a fresh filter, the water tastes noticeably cleaner and smoother, getting rid of that strong chlorine smell or metallic aftertaste. These standard filters reduce chlorine taste and odor along with impurities like copper, cadmium, and mercury using activated carbon and ion-exchange resin technology. They're also BPA-free and designed to last up to 40 gallons or about two months per filter. The installation is simple and quick compared to older filter designs. I liked that these no longer require lengthy presoaking and the pull-top cap makes removal easier when it's time to swap filters. The 4 pack is also convenient because it lasts several months for an average household, making it more economical than constantly buying bottled water. My only complaint is that sometimes the water will run through very quickly and other times not so much which makes it harder to discern whether the filter is working effectively. Aside from tha, it seems like a simple and affordable everyday water filter.
