The most powerful prayers to Peter and Fevronia for family and children, for marriage and conception

On July 8, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Memorial Day of Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom, who are considered the model of the Christian family and the patrons of marriage. It is not for nothing that a family holiday is timed to coincide with this date in Russia — the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, which is very popular with newlyweds. Believers attend divine services on this day and pray for help in creating and strengthening family ties. Izvestia publishes the most powerful prayers that can be read on a holiday in front of the icon of saints.

When and how to pray to Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom

Peter and Fevronia of Murom are addressed both on the days of their veneration — July 8, the day of the righteous death, and on the first Sunday preceding September 19, on the occasion of the transfer of the relics — and at any other time.

As a rule, believers visit the Holy Trinity Convent in Murom, where the relics of saints are located, or temples where there are icons with a particle of relics. In Moscow, such images are located in the Church of the Ascension of the Lord on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street and the church of St. Sergius and Herman of Valaam on 2nd Tverskaya Street.

You can also pray in front of the icon with the faithful spouses in other churches or at home. When saying a prayer, it is important to be sincere and believe in help. If the previous request has already been fulfilled, then first you should thank the saints for their assistance and put a candle in the church in their name. Some people leave fresh flowers near the icons.
