On the 8th of July, the Orthodox Church celebrates a very special feast —  the day of Saint Peter and Fevronia.

These two saints from the 13th century, Peter and Fevronia, are considered the patron saints of family, love, and fidelity.

The Duke of Russian city Murom Peter met Fevronia (a peasant girl) when she cured him of a disease using her knowledge of herbs. They eventually married, even though they came from completely different backgrounds.
