Gerasim Zelić

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

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

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