| | St. Arsenius, Bishop of Tver, Feast 2 March (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | This virtuous and industrious monk, who conducted himself as Christ taught from his very youth, and was experienced in the rules of the Church, attracted the attention of St. Kiprian, the future Metropolitan of Moscow (+1406), who was living in Kiev at the time. |
 | | Arsenius was buried in Zheltikov monastery, in the vestibule of the right side-altar, which was dedicated to the icon of the Saviour Made-Without-Hands, in the Dormition Church, in the coffin that he had made himself. |
 | | The icon-painting original contains the following description of St. Arsenius: "He looks like an old man with a long, grey beard, like as that of Sergius, dressed as a schemamonk, in his mantia, with his omophorion flung over his shoulders, his right hand blessing and the left one holding the Gospel". |
