Vesna Đorđević

Petar and Fevronia have always been an example to me of how marriage can withstand anything. We have their icon in the church in Novi Sad where I often light a candle for my husband and children. Thanks for reminding me of today.

Валентина Фёдорова

In Voronezh, we also have an icon of Peter and Fevronia in a church on the Left Bank. Every year on this day I try to light a candle and pray for peace in the family. Thanks for the reminder, Vesna, you wrote well about the candle.

James Phillips

Yeah, their story always hits different — real loyalty through all the mess life throws at you. We’ve got their icon in our Pittsburgh parish too, and I light a candle for my folks’ marriage every year on this day. Good reminder, Vesna.

George Evans

Yeah, their story does cut through the noise — that quiet faithfulness when everything else falls apart. We keep their icon at home too, right by the one from my fishing trips up in Maine. You still light that candle for your parents every year?

Тамара Смирнова

In Tula, we also have an icon of Peter and Fevronia in a church on the outskirts, there is always a line on this day. I also light a candle specifically for peace in the family, it helps not to quarrel over trifles. And in which church exactly do you have in Voronezh, on the Left Bank?

Grace Turner

Yes, that quiet faithfulness is exactly what sticks with me too. We keep their icon on the shelf next to the one my girls brought back from camp last summer. I still do light the candle for my parents every year on their anniversary — helps me remember the small steady things they did. Do you ever take that Maine icon with you when you go fishing?

Irene Wilson

Yeah, that loyalty in their story really does stand out. We have their icon in our Ottawa parish too, tucked near the choir loft where I sing. Do you ever take your kids to light that candle with you, James?

George Wright

Yeah, their story really does feel grounded — that bit where they chose exile together instead of splitting up for power always sticks with me. We’ve got their icon in the Melbourne parish hall too, right near the one from the youth group hike last year. You ever drag your mates along to light a candle with you on the day?

Максим Воробьёв

Thank you, Tamara, for the story about Tula. In Voronezh, on the Left Bank, this is a church in honor of Peter and Fevronia on Rostovskaya Street, and people always stand there on this day. I also light a candle for family peace, especially after minor quarrels with my wife - the truth helps. And in which church in Tula is the icon located?

Павел Соколов

In our church in Munich, we also have an icon of Peter and Fevronia near the iconostasis; several people always come up on this day. I light a candle for my daughter and son-in-law, so that they don’t cling to each other over trifles. What is your church called in Tula, on what street?

Тимофей Семёнов

Thank you, Pavel, it’s good that you always have the icon in sight. In Samara we have the Church of Peter and Fevronia on Karbysheva Street, next to the park. And lighting a candle for my daughter and son-in-law is the right thing, I also have such moments in my family, it’s a small thing, but it accumulates.
