Holy Trinity Convent, Murom, Vladimir Oblast, Russia
Trinity Convent was founded in 1643 by a rich merchant on the site of an ancient wooden church said to be founded by this town first Slavic ruler prince Konstantin, today this particular site is known as the place where Russian patrons of the family Peter and Febronia rest, and many Russians come here to ask for their blessing in the family life and mattrers related to marriage and children.
However, the legend regarding these two saints is quite complicated, and their role as patrons of love and family as alternative to that of St.Valentine is rather questionable, still many young Russians visit the place on their wedding day and on other occasions
