On July 8, when the Church honors the memory of the holy noble princes Peter and Fevronia of Murom, on the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, Bishop John of Shuya and Teikovsky warmly congratulated the participants in the parade of families held in Shuya.

In his speech, Vladyka recalled the importance of preserving family traditions and the example of the holy noble princes Peter and Fevronia.  “Their lives are an example of the beauty of family life and the happiness that comes from the communication of two loving hearts. In their family life they acquired that same sublime ideal of Christian sacrificial love, which is the key to the well-being of every family.”  Bishop John also noted that “the day of remembrance of Saints Peter and Fevronia not so long ago became in our country a holiday of family, love and fidelity, and this is very timely, because in the current difficult times, the institution of the family is being tested for strength by modern pseudoculture more than ever.”

The column solemnly walked along the historical route - from the Poklonny Cross on Lenin Square to Green Square, and the Parade of Families ended with a concert program at the summer stage in the City Park.

Hannah KingThanks for sharing this. The parade route from the Lenin square cross to the park sounds lovely – I bet seeing all those families walking together was encouraging. Bishop Ioann’s point about family traditions and Peter and Fevronia’s example really hits home, especially with how he mentioned the challenges from modern pseudoculture.

Anca MunteanuLa mulțumesc pentru articol. Mi-a plăcut mult că au mers de la Crucea de pe piața Lenin până la parcul cu estradă – parcă văd cum mergeau copiii cu părinții pe ruta aceea veche. Exemplul Sfinților Petru și Fevronia e cel mai bun, mai ales acum când zice Vlădica de pătimirile astea moderne ale familiei.

Vuk MarkovićKod nas u Nišu je slično bilo prošle godine na slavi porodice, samo bez parade. Lepo je što su prošli baš od Poklonog Krsta na Lenjinovoj pijaci do Zelene pijace, to je stvarno njihov stari put. Vladika Jovan je u pravu, Petar i Fevronija su najbolji primer, a ne te moderne gluposti što nam serviraju.
