Petrovden – Christian Orthodox holiday in memory of the execution of the holy apostles Peter and Paul (12. ⅶ / 29. Ⅵ). They are executed on the same day 61 And that’s why the icons and frescoes are presented together, St. Peter with keys from paradise, and St. Paul with a sword as a symbol of his own death. On this day in some places of Macedonia there were laid marks, and in Galichnik, the famous Galician weddings were made. Lit.: Lazar Measures ¢, Herthology, Belgrade, 1961; Yife’s A.
