Across Russia, the proposal to establish a new public holiday, the Day of Conjugal Love and Family Happiness, and celebrate it on July 8, met with wide support.

The students of the Murom branch of Vladimir University were the first to propose declaring July 8 - the day of the holy noble princes Peter and Fevronia - an all-Russian holiday in 2002.

The All-Russian Day of Family, Love and Fidelity was first celebrated in 2008, which was declared the Year of the Family.

The holiday also has its own official symbol, proposed by the wife of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, - CAMOMILE!

The wife of the President of Russia Svetlana Medvedeva congratulated the Russians on the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.

On the eve of the holiday, she visited Murom, which became the center of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. It was in this city that the Orthodox patrons of the Peter and Fevronia families lived in the 13th century.

"I am glad to be with you today on the ancient Russian land in the city of Murom, where you can feel the connection of times and the origins of our culture. And with all my heart I want to congratulate you and convey my congratulations from the President of Russia on a good holiday - the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity" - said S. Medvedeva.

She noted that "for many years, the people of Murom have been solemnly celebrating the Day of Remembrance of Saints Peter and Fevronia, who are revered as patrons of the family." "The high ideals of marriage have been embodied in their lives - mutual love and fidelity, piety and mercy. We refer to these values ​​even today, and they still mean a lot to us," S. Medvedeva said.

"Family is a source of love, mutual understanding and respect. This is what makes a person's life emotionally and spiritually filled," she said. "You need to take care of your family," the President's wife urged, emphasizing that "from time immemorial, family traditions have been carefully preserved in Russia, they have been passed down from generation to generation."

"It is the warmth of the hearth, a caring attitude towards relatives and friends, a strong spiritual connection - these are unshakable moral values," S. Medvedeva believes.

She admitted that "I'm glad that this initiative was supported in many cities of Russia, and chamomile - a symbol of the holiday - is blooming all over the country today." "And, despite the fact that this is the Day of Orthodox saints, it was willingly accepted by both representatives of other traditional religions and non-religious people," the President's wife noted.

"This holiday is spreading more and more throughout our country, and now our compatriots also celebrate it even outside of Russia," S. Medvedeva added. She expressed confidence that "The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity will become a traditional and favorite holiday in every home, in every family."

"It is your support, I hope, that will make the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity really popular. Once again, I sincerely congratulate you on the holiday! I wish you love, fidelity to each other, mutual understanding and harmony. Be closer to each other, live happily ever after ", - said the President's wife.
