Gero-Arsenios was always agreeable and gave out blessings very easily. One time, however, he strangely became so strict and unyielding that he upset one of the fathers. Afterwards, when he was asked why he had been so harsh with him, he answered: “Yesterday Geronda came and told me: Be careful, Arsenios; don’t take the responsibility for other people’s burdens. Father so-and-so will come tomorrow. Don’t give him a blessing for what he wants.’” Even though it was a dream, Gero-Arsenios still had the experience and the grace to realize which dreams were from God, which were natural, and which were from the demons.

About six months had passed from the time when Mary had gone to live in Nazareth, in the home of Joseph. It appears that, during this time, the veil of the temple had become worn and needed renewing. This most sacred of objects could not be made by unclean hands. It had to come from hands that were spotless and pure. The High Priest Zechariah ordered the spotless virgins of the house of David to be brought. He also gave a separate command: that the Virgin Mary was to be brought from Nazareth. Seven virgins were brought together. Lots were cast. And the lot fell upon Mary. Mary was given the necessary materials: gold, asbestos, linen, silk, hyacinth, red and purple dyes ...
