Day of Family, Love and Fidelity in Russia
July 8 · Level 1 · #2123 of 2238
Russia's Day of Family, Love and Fidelity celebrates close relationships, care and mutual support. It is associated with Peter and Fevronia of Murom, whom Orthodox tradition honours as patrons of marriage.
How it is celebrated: families attend festivals, concerts and creative activities for children and adults. Married couples receive medals for love and fidelity, while relatives exchange daisies and spend time together.
The daisy is more than a popular flower for the occasion: it also appears on the medal awarded to couples. A familiar meadow flower has become a symbol of lasting commitment.
