Saint Arsenios Baptised baby Saint Paisios, and gave him his own name Arsenios, to bestow on him a Blessing to walk in his footsteps as a Monk. Saint Paisios and Saint Arsenios always remained close. Below is a photo of the font Saint Paisios was Baptised in.
Saint Arsenios said to the parents of Saint Paisios: “You want to leave a child at the grandfather’s foot, don’t I want to leave a Monk at my foot?”
