The Story about Pyotr and Fevronia

This movie was based on the life story (hagiography) of the two Russian Orthodox Saints - Pyotr and Fevronia from the Murom city. For the Russian Orthodox believers they symbolize the eternal love, marriage and family. Their fest day has almost the same meaning as the Valentine's Day and is celebrated in summer on the 8th of July.

The story -

Apanage prince Paul (Russian: Павел) is disturbed, as a guileful snake (Satan) has gotten into the habit of visiting his wife disguising himself as the prince. His wife finds out that the only man who can defeat the snake with a magiс sword is Paul's brother, Peter (Russian: Пётр). Peter defeats the snake, but its blood spills on him and his body is covered with aching scabs. No doctors can help, but suddenly Peter hears of Fevronia (Russian: Феврония), a wise young peasant maiden, who promises to heal him. As a reward she wants to marry Peter. When healed, he does not keep his promise and instead sends rich gifts to Fevronia. However, soon Peter's body is again covered with scabs. Fevronia heals him again and this time they get married. Prince Paul soon dies and Peter and Fevronia come to reign in Murom. The boyars are unhappy to have a peasant woman for princess, and they ask Fevronia to leave the city taking with her whatever riches she wants. Fevronia agrees, asking them to let her choose just one thing. The boyars find out that the wise maiden's wish was to only take her husband, so Peter and Fevronia leave Murom together. The city remains without a prince. The boyars start strifes over the reign, Murom is in havoc, and finally Peter and Fevronia are asked to return. They reign wisely and happily until their last days, which they spend in monasteries. They know they will die on the same day and ask to be buried in the same grave. The Russian Orthodox tradition does not allow for a monk and a nun to be buried together, but the bodies are twice found to disappear from the original coffins and finally remain in the common grave forever.

I hate to sound annoying TotalOrthodox...but could you PLEASE start uploading these with English subs (or at least put the titles and info in english. I love these Orthodox cartoons (The Cross is my favorite, could you at least sub that one?) but I want to understand them better.

I don't know the tale of Peter and Fevronia - but I like the dragon!

[TotalOrthodox]

@riverhouse2007

Actually it's not the tale... ))) It's the historical story about the two ancient Russian Saints - Pyotr and Fevroniya who symbolize the eternal love and marriage... Their fest day has almost the same meaning as the Valentine's Day and is celebrated in summer... The dragon is actually an "Ancient Serpent" (Satan)...
