Visit St.Petersburg

Если вы с утра проспали,
За окошком снег растаял,
И к нулю стремится синус -
Виноват коронавирус.

Today the museums of Saint-Petersburg are mostly closed because of COVID-19 and we are in a culture siege. No museums, notraveling, no sneezing, no coughing.

Today is Saint-Valentine’s day. Now we started to celebrate it for fun, the restaurants are busy on this day, but is it just for fun but it is not Russian but a catholic tradition to celebrate this day. We also make special Day of Love city tours (me too). Russian day of Love takes place on the on the 8^th of July, the memory day of Saint Prince Peter and his wife Fevronia, they are patrons Saint of family and marriage according to Russian orthodox tradition and called the day of Family, Love and Fidelity. And you can see the difference it is not just love but Family and Fidelity.The symbol is not the heart but the flower of chamomile.

The love and life story of Peter and Fevronia inspires me. This is a strange story and as soon as the people are Saint it is difficult to comment. Please, judge for yourself.

Today in Peter & Paul cathedral (burial place of Romanov family) in Peter & Paul fortress service after Peter the Great took place. This day seems mystical for Romanov family. Peter the Great, several years earlier his half-brother, several years earlier their father died on this very day!
