Father Pavel´s prison experiences reminds me father Arseni, though he was a prominent scholar in Russian church architecture. Elder Pavel was put to stand barefoot in snow and F.Arseni was thrown to a cold hut for days, still these “saints ” didn’t loose even the body warmth which was noticed by doctors in Arseni´s case.
These fathers and elders give great hope and inner light in our dark time.
Thank You for sharing. Yours Meri Arni-Kauttu, Finland
