What a beautiful holiday name is the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity...

Probably now each of you knows about Valentine's Day - Valentine's Day, a holiday so popular among young people. However, Valentine's Day is a Catholic holiday that came to us from the West. But we, in Rus', have our own saints - patrons of lovers, marriage and family happiness.
Who knows what kind of saints these are?
This is Peter and Fevronia.
This holiday is dedicated to the memory of these saints.

Does anyone know why this holiday - the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity - is associated with the names of these saints?

So who are Peter and Fevronia?
I'll tell you a legend...
Long ago - in the 13th century - two brothers lived in the glorious city of Murom - Princes Paul and Peter Trouble happened to Paul He began to fly to his wife snakes She complained to her husband Yes, how to get rid of the snake? Paul told his wife to find out the secret of his death from the snake And told the snakes that only Peter could overcome him And, of course, Peter stood up for the honor of his brother's wife In a fight with a snake, he won. But the snake, dying, splashed Peter with its poisonous blood, and Peter became seriously ill with leprosy. His whole body was covered with ulcers and scabs. No doctors could help him and heal him from a serious illness.
And then Peter went to the land of Ryazan, which was famous for its skilled healers and healers. Fevronia - a simple girl, the daughter of a woodcutter (a collector of wild honey) - undertook to heal the prince, but with one condition: he must take her as his wife. Peter accepted this condition and received from Fevronia a healing ointment with which he had to anoint all the sores on his body. The prince did so - illness left him, but did not keep his promises, since he was embarrassed by Fevronia’s low origin. He went to Moore alone.
He soon fell ill again, more grievously The prince realized that this was God's punishment for his refusal to marry Fevronia And then he said to the relatives: For God there is no rich, no poor, no prince, no servant, no smerd, no boyar. Take me to Fevronia.
Having accepted, as the first time, a healing bath and lubricated all the sores on his body with healing ointment, Peter immediately began to recover. He left the bathhouse with his own feet, and a stately, beautiful girl came out to meet him with a long braid and affectionate loving eyes. Peter took her by her white hands and no longer wanted to let them out, and everyone admired his betrothed. They got married, and the entire Principality of Murom walked at the wedding.
However, the noble Murom boyars did not wish to see their princess as a "muzhitsa" daughter, they were offended that "she became a princess out of her kind" They began to grumble and be indignant that Peter trusted his wife in everything. They openly declared their claims to the shocked prince, and Fevronia said the following: "Take for yourself any wealth you want and leave us".
Wise Fevronia took her greatest wealth - consort Peter chose to give up power rather than love They sailed away together down the Oka River on a boat.

And in Murom, bloody feuds began, in the struggle for the princely throne, many of the boyars were killed. The boyars came to their senses, realized what a mistake they had made, succumbing to self-interest and meanness, and bowed to their rightful ruler Peter and his wife. Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia returned to Murom, lived and ruled. The time of the spouses’ reign was the happiest and most prosperous for the Murom principality.
And when they were old, they became monks: Peter took the name of David, Fevronia - Euphrosyne They bequeathed themselves together in a specially prepared coffin with a thin partition in the middle.
They died on the same day and hour of 25 June, old style (8 July - new style) 1228 each in their cell, but were buried in different coffins, as the people considered it wicked to bury the monks in the same coffin and dared to violate the will of the deceased But the next morning the bodies of the couple were somehow miraculously in the same coffin, as they bequeathed. Once again their bodies were carried to different temples, and again they miraculously found themselves nearby the next morning. Then everyone realized that it was the will of God. And no one else dared to separate Peter and Fevronia. They were buried in Murom near the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
And in 1552, Peter and Fevronia were canonized by the church, that is, they were canonized, and July 8 began to be considered the day of their memory.

Now their miraculous relics are kept in the Holy Trinity Church of the Holy Trinity Convent in Murom. They are among the most revered saints not only in Murom itself, but throughout Russia.
And those people who have problems in family life, problems with having children, come to their relics to bow and ask for help.
Peter and Fevronia are patrons of newlyweds, young families, and the power of love and fidelity of Peter and Fevronia serve as a model of family relationships.

Yes, it's not easy for one person to live You guys know the greatest wealth in every person's life is their family Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy said: Happy is the one who is happy at home

It’s not for nothing that there are so many proverbs and sayings about family in Rus'...
Which ones do you know?..

And I know these:
Family in a heap - not scary and a cloud.
You don’t need a treasure when there is a harmony in the family.
When family is together and heart is in place.
Where there is love and advice, there is no grief.
At least it’s cramped, but better together.
With a sweetheart, heaven and in a hut.
They live soul to soul.

Day of Family, Love and Fidelity - a good, bright holiday.
So let's smile at each other, and at the same time get to know each other better. This is your task: by passing this heart to your neighbor, let's call our name and compare ourselves with some flower or bird. For example...

One flower became the symbol of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity...
Its yellow-eyed flower is called
They tore off a flower - they tell fortunes with petals.
It's chamomile. What do you think - why?
Chamomile - flower of Russian fields and meadows And besides that, chamomile is the most direct about love. Who knows how? On chamomile they used to tell fortunes - "loves - dislikes"

And what bird has long been considered a symbol of fidelity in Rus'? This is a swan. (Hint - "fidelity" - what? Swan)
They get to know each other just like we humans are - "in person" Swan won't confuse his spouse with anyone! Swan family never separates: they swim together, forage for food, build a nest, raise children, fly to far warm countries.

And the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity also has a wonderful motto: "Love and Protect".

And now we suggest each of you make a drawing on the theme of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. These could be symbols of the holiday - chamomile or swans, or it could be a drawing depicting your family...
