The Lord brought this couple together in an amazing way. The brother of the Prince of Murom, Peter, fell ill with a serious illness, and went to the Ryazan lands in search of a doctor. There he met Fevronia. The girl agreed to heal the prince, provided that he became her husband. After his recovery, Peter kept his promise and took Fevronia as his wife.

Over their earthly life, the holy couple showed incredible devotion to each other. They shared all the joys and hardships. Even when the Murom boyars rebelled against the princess from peasant class and demanded that the prince abandon the throne, Peter did not leave Fevronia and left the city with her. Soon after their departure, feuds and unrest began, the people themselves asked the prince to return and take the place of their rightful ruler.

Before their death, according to the pious custom, the couple took monastic tonsure with the names of David and Euphrosyne. Saints Peter and Fevronia died on the same day. They bequeathed to be placed in one coffin, which they had prepared for themselves a long time ago. To this day, the relics of the Murom miracle workers rest in a common grave.
