Gerasim Zelić

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerasim Zelić (1752–1838) was a Serbian Orthodox archimandrite and writer.

As early as 1784, Gerasim had argued the need for Slav rather than Greek clerics, but it was not until the 1820s that action was taken in this regard.

Monastery Krupa was a significant spiritual and cultural centre of Orthodox Serbs in Dalmatia; many important persons lived there: archimandrite Gerasim Zelic, and writers Dositej Obradovic and Simo Matavulj.
