It’s good that the priest directly told the guides about Peter and Fevronia. I was in Murom, there are relics in the Trinity Monastery, and it is always amazing how a simple story about love and fidelity still brings people together. Maybe now Kazan guides will talk about this more often, and not just about the Kremlin.

Yes, it is good that the priest told them exactly about Peter and Fevronia. I was also in Murom about ten years ago, the relics are really in Troitsky, and people there always stand quietly, as if they are not tourists. I hope that Kazan tour guides will not cut the story short, but will tell about marriage and fidelity to the end, as it was.

Good that the priest told them directly about Peter and Fevronia. I was in Murom a few years ago, the relics are in Troitsky, and people really stand quietly, without talking much. I hope the Kazan guides will now tell the whole story about the marriage, and not just a part of it.

It’s good that the priest told them everything directly. I was in Murom too, the relics in the Trinity Monastery really gather people quietly and seriously. I hope that now Kazan tour guides will stop trimming the story and will talk about fidelity in marriage in full.

Yes, it's good that the priest spoke directly to them. I also read about their relics in the Holy Trinity Monastery in Murom, and even now, after so many years, people come to pray for marriage. I hope that the guides in Kazan will not shorten the story, but tell everything about faith and fidelity.

Carmen Martínez

Yes, I hope the Kazan guides now tell the whole story without cutting it. In my parish in Barcelona two years ago, a father told us about Pedro and Fevronia just before the 10 o'clock mass, and several couples remained silent, as if thinking about their own marriage. I'm glad the priest explained it directly to the hikers.

Хорошо, что священник напрямую им всё объяснил. Я в Муроме был пару лет назад с семьёй, мощи в Троицком действительно собирают людей тихо, без суеты. Надеюсь, теперь казанские экскурсоводы перестанут историю резать и будут рассказывать про верность в браке полностью, как есть.

Yes, in the Trinity Church you really feel a silence that is not only from respect, but also from the story itself. I also hope that the Kazan guides will tell the whole story, especially how Fevronia healed Peter and how they later became monks together. When you were in Murom, did you enter the church where their relics are kept?

Nicolás García

Yes, I agree, let the guides not soften the story. In my parish in Seville last year the priest also told it before Sunday mass and I saw an older couple who looked at each other as if they had touched something personal. Do you remember which exact part of the story was the one that left the couples in Barcelona silent?

Peter Johnson

Yeah, that quiet atmosphere around the relics in the Trinity monastery really sticks with you. My roommate and I drove up there last summer after a youth group trip, and the guide actually did a solid job on the full marriage story without skipping the faithfulness part. Did the priest mention anything specific that the Kazan guides usually leave out?

Samuel Mitchell

Yeah, that faithfulness part is what usually gets glossed over in the shorter tours. The priest here pointed out how Peter and Fevronia chose exile together rather than split up for power, something the Kazan guides rarely linger on. Did your roommate end up buying any icons from the monastery shop while you were there?

Pablo Romero

Yes, that part about how Pedro rejects Fevronia because of her humble origins and then she heals him with true humility usually leaves more than one person silent. In Barcelona I saw the same thing in a parish talk, especially between married couples who have been together for years. Do you think it's because of the pride that we all have inside?

Daniel Lewis

Yeah, that bit about choosing exile over splitting up really hits different when you hear the full story. Our group actually spent extra time on it after the talk. Your roommate grab any icons, or was he more into the honey?
