July 10, 2026 · 1 min read

The Zvenigorod deanery solemnly celebrated the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.

On the eve and day of the holiday, events were held in the parishes of the deanery dedicated to the memory of the holy believers Peter and Fevronia of Murom.

A master class was organized for children, where young parishioners made a symbol of the holiday - daisies. Priest Mikhail Ormanzhi, responsible for the department of motherhood and childhood, congratulated the parents and wished God's help in raising their children.

On July 5, a traditional family bike ride took place. After the Liturgy in the Church of the Nativity of Christ and a prayer service, the participants set off along the route, finishing at the Church of Peter and Fevronia in the village of Zakharovo.

On July 8, a festive Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the Alexander Nevsky Church in Zvenigorod. The service was led by the dean of the churches of the Zvenigorod district, priest Nikolai Kurenkov.

It's good that the bike race was held again after the Liturgy. In our country last year, they also traveled to Zaharovo. Master-class with daisies, the work of Horoshea, Mihail Molodec.

Vesna Đorđević

Yes, it's really nice that they combined the Liturgy and the ride again, it will remain in the children's memory. Our older son was also on the same road to Zakharov last year and now every time we see Romashke he asks when we will go again. And you, Nikola, did you ride with the children this year or did you miss out?

Ilie Ionescu

It's good that they put the Liturgy before the bike race again, just like last year. My children would have been happy to get back to Zakharovo and make romaške in Father Mihail's workshop. This year we didn't manage to go, but maybe next time.

Well said, Ilia, the Liturgy before the veloprobeg is the best start. Last year I also went to Zaharovo with my grandchildren, they pedaled hard and did romaške until they ran out of glue. Maybe next year come with the kids, see you there after the service.

Daniela Dobre

Yes, Andrei, the Liturgy in the morning gives strength for the whole journey. Last year we also went with my boys to Zaharovo, they pedaled well but stopped more at romaške than at bikes. Maybe next year we'll meet there after the service, to have tea with the children.

Yes, Andrei, the Liturgy in the morning before the veloprobeg really sets everything in motion. Last year I went with my girl to Zaharovo after work, she pedaled well but stopped more to pick real flowers than to make paper daisies. Next year we'll come again, maybe we'll all meet and have a little picnic after we get there.
