“Under the protection of Peter and Fevronia” in the parish of the Church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky in Gomeltranslated

July 13, 2026 · 1 min read

On July 12, in the parish of the Church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky in Gomel, a family holiday “Under the protection of Peter and Fevronia” was held, dedicated to the memory of the Holy Blessed Princes Peter and Fevronia of Murom - the patrons of family and marriage.

The story of these saints reminds us of loyalty, love and family unity. It was their life that became the basis for the words familiar to many: “they lived happily ever after and died on the same day.”

On this day, parishioners and guests of the holiday were treated to a family photo zone “Family in the Lens”, a playground for children “Merry Family”, competitions, master classes and quizzes. Children and adults participated together in prepared programs, received memorable prizes and simply spent time next to each other.

At the festive table, guests were treated to aromatic tea, cookies and sweets. The atmosphere of joy and communication united families of different generations.

The memory of Saints Peter and Fevronia once again became an occasion to remember the value of family peace, mutual love and care for each other.

Nice initiative with the photo zone and contests for the whole family! In our parish, we did something similar last year with the children and they really enjoyed preparing together with their parents. Which competition worked out best for you?

Our parish did something like that last summer too, but we kept it simpler with just the tea table and a few board games after the moleben. The photo zone with the whole family in one shot sounds like a winner. What was the most popular contest for the kids?
