Life
Saint Arsenius the Lover of Labor lived during the fourteenth century. This ascetic was distinguished by his love for toil, and living in asceticism in the Kiev Caves monastery of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, he knew no rest. He prayed constantly and partook of food only at the setting of the sun. For his humility and love of labor the Lord gave him the gift of wonderworking. His memory is also celebrated together with the Saints of the Far Caves on August 28.

Troparion
Тропарь преподобного Арсения трудолюбивого, глас 8
Слез твоих теченьми пустыни безплодное возделал еси,/ и иже из глубины воздыханьми во сто трудов уплодоносил еси,/ и был еси светильник вселенней, сияя чудесы, Арсение отче наш,/ моли Христа Бога спастися душам нашим.

Кондак преподобного Арсения трудолюбивого, глас 8
Яже на земли оставль, Христовым стопам последовал еси тепле/ и, Того, славне, на рамо взем честный крест,/ умертвил еси труды постническими телесныя желания, треблаженне./ Темже зовем ти: радуйся, отче Арсение.
