Princes Peter and Fevronya of Murom became famous as saints several centuries ago. They revealed to pious hearts the beauty and height of the Orthodox family...

They tried to cure him for a long time, but only ordinary girl Fevronia from the village of Laskovo cured the prince. As a token of gratitude, Prince Peter married Fevronya. Many boyars tried to destroy the marriage of Prince Peter and the girl Fevronya, but could not resist Fevronya’s wisdom.
They lived a long time, had equal love for everyone, did not like cruelty, but revered justice, and died on the same day...
Legends about the selfless love and devotion of these two Murom spouses are still preserved. In 1552, the Murom miracle workers were canonized as Russian saints.

Every year our country celebrates a bright and sincere holiday - Family Day of Love and Fidelity, which falls on July 8th. But not everyone knows the history of this holiday, much less have any idea what gifts are customary to give on Family Day.
The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity is associated with the story of Prince Peter of Murom and his wife Fevronia, who are believed to have lived in Rus' in the 13th century. It is Peter and Fevronya in our country who are the patrons of the hearth, family and marriage. It is to them that prayers and requests are addressed in order to strengthen the family, they ask for health and well-being for loved ones.
Peter and Fevronia were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in the middle of the 16th century. After this event, the famous “Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom” saw the light of day, which tells the complex fairy-tale story of the saints who are considered the patrons of the family in Russia.
According to the story, Prince Peter was the son of Prince Yuri Vladimirovich, who took charge of Murom in 1203. Peter fell ill with leprosy, and no one could heal him of this disease. In one of his dreams, the prince saw that only the peasant woman Fevronia, who lives in one of the villages near Ryazan, could save him. Fevronia was wise, she understood healing properties plants and even understood the language of animals. A beautiful and intelligent girl promised to heal the prince if he married her. After the illness subsided, Peter forgot his word to the girl, and leprosy returned again. Fevronia cured the prince again, and he married the girl.
Despite the beauty and wisdom of Fevronia, the boyars in Murom treated her poorly, not wanting to be ruled by a princess from the common people. Peter refused to leave his wife, and together they sailed down the Oka River. The heroes lived as simple people, rejoicing in being near each other and praying to God.
Meanwhile, in Murom, a struggle for the place of prince began, civil strife and endless wars began. The boyars thought about it and decided to forgive Peter, return and become a prince with his wife. Peter and Fevronia earned the love of the people, they ruled wisely and fairly. They died on the same day, July 8 according to the new style, but were buried separately. A miracle happened and their bodies ended up together. Today, the relics of Peter and Fevronia are kept in the Church of the Holy Trinity of the Holy Trinity Monastery in Murom.
Day of Family, Love and Fidelity in Russia
In Russia, the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity began to be celebrated quite recently - since 2008, which, by the way, was the year of the family in our country.
This memorial event was established thanks to the initiative of the residents of Murom, where Saints Peter and Fevronya were buried. This idea was well received by deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Svetlana Medvedeva also provides great support for the holiday, who came up with the idea of the symbol of Family Day, love and fidelity - the daisy. Today, to popularize the holiday, monuments to Peter and Fevronia have been erected in many cities of our country. In addition, the city of Murom annually hosts a festive concert with the participation of Russian pop stars.
The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity is often contrasted with the foreign holiday of St. Valentine's Day. Thus, the day of remembrance of Peter and Fevronia is also an attempt to remember our roots, traditions and customs of our ancestors.
