Holy Trinity Convent

Here are buried the relics of Saints Peter and Fevronia. History has preserved to this day the legend of the love of the Murom prince and a simple girl who cured him of a serious illness. They had to endure persecution and adversity before this pair rose at the head of the city and earned the people's love and respect. In old age, Peter and Fevronia took monastic vows and bequeathed them to bury them together. According to the legend, they died simultaneously, July 8, 1228, and the history of their life gave rise to the aphoristic phrase: "Lived happily and died on the same day."
