"In the late 19th, early 20th century in a small village Chermyanino, on the Bank of Sukhona river in the North-East of the Vologda region there lived a big and friendly family Nutrikhins. A large farm holding Dmitry (Mitka). They had many children. But ill of his beloved wife, Pavla Pavlovna. And then Mitya made a vow to God that will pave the way to the temple from the village of Kichuga to the village of Pavlovskoe to the Church of the Epiphany, which is 7 kilometers through forests and swamps. To get Kichugans to this temple is not very convenient - in a detour on the road was about 20 miles. God heard the prayers of Mitka and recovered his wife. Then he took the job - taking with him into the woods a bag of biscuits and food and cut down the forest, laid a road made of logs. All done, as promised! And began to walk to the temple, the villagers of Kichuga not in boots and shoes. And they lived happily and in prosperity and they had a strong economy." - says Lyubov Danilova, who collected bits of history from archival materials.

The project "Roads of love and fidelity" was released in 2013 and was timed to the Day of memory of Saints Peter and Fevronia, which is celebrated in Russia on 8 July as a day of family, love and fidelity. This holiday is a lot of wishing involved, and people are going to go on Mitkin's road to the temple, which was constructed Dmitry Konstantinovich of Nutricin more than 100 years ago.
In a previous post I wrote about that temple, which is located near the village Pozharische, where our abandoned house.
At the beginning of the trail gives all the crackers, as was the tradition.

As well, there are holidays and it is good that people keep the history of their region. All the abandoned villages in which he lived Mitka, there was not one house..nothing to revive it, but such holidays and tours to help keep the spirit of Russia.
The symbol of the Day of family, love and fidelity in our region is the chamomile.
