st-petka Orthodox Christians and Serbian Orthodox Church celebrate the day of Saint Petka (Sveta Petka), protector of women, the sick and the poor.

Believers turn to prayer for help and safety from a disease and other life troubles.

The cult of St. Petka has been cultivated for centuries in South East Europe, and is respected by some non-Christian people on the East.

Near St. Petka temples can often be found mineral springs that people drink from, believing that it will heal their wounds and protect them from diseases.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
