The day is devoted to the preservation of traditional family values and encompasses the spiritual and moral education of Russia\u2019s children and teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Each year, on 8 July, Russia celebrates family, love and loyalty. <\/strong>The celebration coincides with an ancient Orthodox holiday dating back almost 800 years, which is devoted to the saints Pyotr and Fevronia, who became symbols of devotion and family harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Various events are held throughout Russia to mark the occasion. Cultural institutions, such as museums and libraries, run special programmes, which include lectures and thematic exhibitions. Interactive activities range from learning how to paint souvenirs to participating in yoga classes and, in the larger cities, concerts and firework displays are held. Medals for love and loyalty are awarded to those families whose marriages exemplify love, strength, devotion and family unity. Whatever the character or the scale of the event each embodies the same belief, which is that individual and societal stability, their moral and spiritual foundation, are inextricably linked to the conservation and promotion of traditional family values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family, Love and Loyalty in Russia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As a token of today\u2019s emphasis on family, love and harmony, our neighbours left us a gift on the window sill this morning: &nbsp;chamomile flowers, which, according to the ancient tradition, &nbsp;represent innocence and fidelity, along with other garden produce of a more physically sustaining nature ~ which I was pleased to &nbsp;have with my dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Whilst I can safely say that in the UK traditional family values share something in common with the Invisible Man (sorry, person), take heart! ~ in the UK we do celebrate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/international-womens-day-kaliningrad\/\">International Women\u2019s Day<\/a>&nbsp;(from a purely feminist angle, mind), are tickled pink during Gay Pride Month and, oops, how could I possibly forget, Black Lives Matter.
