Orthodox Christians start the fast of the Apostles Peter and Paul
During this period, the believers venerate the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which descended over the apostles.
The believers do not eat animal produce, but may eat fish on Saturday and Sunday.
St Peter was one of Jesus Christ’s 12 apostles. He spent most of his life preaching the Christian gospel. After his Resurrection, the Lord entrusted Apostle Peter to shepherd his spiritual flock because Peter was first among the Apostles and as such the representative of the Church. St Paul, formerly Saul, was converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus shortly after Jesus Christ’s death. He became an influential leader in the Christian church.
Saints Petru and Paul are considered the heads of the apostles and preachers because they contributed to the spread of the Christian teachings in many parts of the world. The apostles were killed by order of Roman Emperor Nero. Saint Paul was beheaded, while Saint Peter was crucified.
