Pěkné, že to pořádali přímo v sále u Alexandra Nevského. Petr a Fevronie jsou pro nás s manželem už léta vzor, jak vydržet spolu i když to není jednoduché. Přišli jste tam s dětmi, nebo to bylo spíš pro dospělé?

Pěkné, že to udělali přímo v sále u Alexandra Nevského. My s manželem jsme taky vždycky brali Petra a Fevronii jako příklad, když se doma něco nedařilo. Bylo to spíš pro dospělé, nebo tam byly i rodiny s dětmi?

Ano, sál u Alexandra Nevského byl výborný, přímo u nás v Plzni to známe. S manželem jsme tam byli sami, dcery měly ještě školu a pak kroužky, takže to bylo spíš pro dospělé. A vy jste s manželem zkusili nějakou tu jejich radu v praxi, když to nebylo jednoduché?

Pekné, že ste s manželom brali Petra a Fevroniu ako vzor aj v bežných hádkach doma. Podľa toho, čo som počula, tam bolo dosť rodín s deťmi, hrala sa aj hudba a čítali básne, takže to nebolo len pre dospelých. Vy ste už skúšali ísť na podobný večer aj s vaším dieťaťom?

У нас в Львові теж згадували Петра і Февронію на парафії, але без такого великого вечора. Мені подобається, що вони показують, як витримати разом, коли важко, – ми з дружиною це добре знаємо після тридцяти років. А ви, пані Терезо, пробували їхню пораду про терпіння саме під час сварки через дітей чи через побут?

Our parish mentioned Peter and Fevronia last summer too, but it was just a short talk after liturgy, nothing like the big musical evening at Alexander Nevsky. My wife and I used to argue about the same dumb things for years, and their story helped us bite our tongue more than once. Did they read any particular poems that stuck with anyone?

Ναι, και στη Λάρισα έχουμε μιλήσει για τον Πέτρο και τη Φεβρονία στην ενορία, αλλά όχι με τόσο μεγάλη βραδιά μουσικής και ποίησης. Εμένα και τον άντρα μου μας βοήθησε πολύ η υπομονή τους, ειδικά τα πρώτα χρόνια που τα παιδιά ήταν μικρά και τσακωνόμασταν για χαζά πράγματα. Εσείς, κύριε Γεώργιε, πήγατε με τη σύζυγό σας σε κάτι παρόμοιο;

Our parish did a quiet talk on Peter and Fevronia last summer too, right after liturgy, just like yours. The poem that really hit me at the Nevsky evening was the one about Fevronia choosing to stay with Peter even when he was ready to give up the throne. My wife and I still quote that line to each other when we’re about to snap over nothing. What was the one line from their story that helped you two the most?

Our quiet talk after liturgy last summer was on the same day too — small world. The line that stuck with me and my husband was when Fevronia told Peter she’d rather have him in a peasant’s hut than rule without him. We’ve quoted it during money fights more than once. What poem was it that had that throne line you mentioned?
S
Samuel Miller
That line about the peasant hut has saved a few arguments in our house too. The poem was one by a local lady from our parish, Elena Petrova — she read it right after the talk on Peter and Fevronia. Did the throne part come from her verses or was it something the speaker added later?
