Peter and Fevronia. 6+ Automatic translate

On the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, in our hall, the story of Yermolai-Erasmus “On the Life of the New Murom Saints Miracle Workers…”, as well as spiritual chants and Russian folk songs will be heard.

The author of the famous story, Ermolai-Erasmus, is an outstanding Russian writer and publicist in the mid-16th century. The main ideas of his work are related to humanism, mercy, Christian love. At the same time, Ermolai-Erasmus sharply condemned the attitude of nobles and boyars towards peasants, whom he considered the basis of the country’s prosperity. He wrote several instructive writings addressed to the government. These ideas, deeply worried about Yermolai, found their full and harmonious expression in "The Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom." Apparently, in connection with the cathedrals of 1547 and 1549. On behalf of Metropolitan Makarius Yermolai, a proposal was made to write hagiographic works dedicated to the Murom saints. Indeed, Peter and Fevronia, canonized at the Cathedral of 1547, are called “new miracle workers” in the title of the story.

In The Tale… a love story is told between a prince and a peasant woman. The author’s sympathy for the heroine, admiration for her intelligence and nobility in a difficult struggle against omnipotent nobles and nobles who did not want to come to terms with her peasant origin, determined the poetic mood of the work as a whole. Mind, nobility and meekness help Fevronia overcome all the hostile actions of her strong opponents.

"The Tale of Peter and Fevronia" is one of the masterpieces of Old Russian narrative literature, and the name of its author should be among the most prominent writers of the Russian Middle Ages.
