Father Arseny
a.k.a. Piotr Andreyevitch Streltzoff

“In this world, you must walk the paths of God's commandments, be merciful to one another; in your behavior and actions try to be like monks—even though you live in this stormy sea of life. Then God's mercy will not leave you.”

Father Arseny (1894 - 1975) was born in Moscow

Shown above is the modest monument on his tomb in Rostov, Russia, where he spent his remaining years after being freed from the death camps.

His life and writings are gathered in two books, published after his death: Father Arseny: Priest, Prisoner, Spiritual Father and Father Arseny: A Cloud of Witnesses.
