Zrenj – birth place of St. Jerome?
Saint Jerome, a famous church father, translator of the Bible into Latin (Vulgate) and one of the most important theologians of late antiquity, was, according to some sources, born in the town of Stridone, which could be today's Zrenj. Although the exact location of Stridone has not been confirmed, local tradition strongly links Zrenj with this great man. His life was marked by dedication to the faith, learning and an ascetical life, and, as the patron saint of translators and librarians, he left an indelible mark on history.
