July 9, 2026 · 1 min read

On July 8, on the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, the chairman of the Blagoveshchensk diocese commission on family issues, protection of motherhood and childhood, Priest Svyatoslav Shevchenko visited antenatal clinic No. 2 in the city of Blagoveshchensk, where he congratulated expectant mothers on the holiday.

The priest told the pregnant women about the life of the holy faithful Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia of Murom - the heavenly patrons of the family, marital love and fidelity. He noted that their example still inspires spouses today to maintain mutual love, trust and care for each other, as well as to raise children in an atmosphere of kindness and Christian values.

Addressing the expectant mothers, Father Svyatoslav wished them good health, peace of mind, patience and God's help in safely awaiting the birth of their children. Each participant in the meeting received an archpastoral blessing and kind words of support.

Such meetings, held by the Diocese of Annunciation together with the city’s medical institutions, are aimed at supporting motherhood, strengthening traditional family values ​​and spiritual support for women expecting the birth of a child.

Paweł NowakDobrze, że ksiądz poszedł prosto do konsultacji i porozmawiał z tymi kobietami, które naprawdę czekają na dziecko. Przypomnienie o św. Piotrze i Fevronii zawsze trafia w punkt, bo to nie jakieś kazanie, tylko konkretny przykład, jak miłość i cierpliwość w małżeństwie wyglądają. U nas w parafii też staramy się wspierać młode mamy, więc cieszę się, że w Błagowieszczeńsku robią to samo.

Илия КириловДобре, че отец Святослав отиде точно в женската консултация №2 и говори с бременните жени там. Примерът на Петър и Феврония наистина е най-ясният – без големи думи, просто как двама се търпят, грижат и остават верни. Интересно ми е дали и в нашата епархия правят такива срещи с бъдещи майки.
