Life

Pelayo, Arsenius and Silvanus of Arlanza were three anchorites who lived at the place where the monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza was founded, at Hortigüela in the province of Burgos, in the county of Castile, in the 10th century. They reposed around 950. They are honored as saints by the Roman Catholic Church.

Our source gives no other details of their life, miracles or commemoration. They are local saints of the West, of the undivided Church, from the hermit tradition of Castile; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant.
