On July 8th, Russia is celebrating Family, Love and Fidelity Day. This has always been the day to commemorate St. Peter and Fevronia of Murom, the patron saints of family happiness. The idea of turning it into a national holiday came from residents of Murom, an ancient city on the Oka River 280 kilometers from Moscow.

Neat holiday…
Windows to Russia!
