Sfinții Petru și Pavel

Sfintii Petru si Pavel.

The Icon of Saint Peter and Paul represents them in the act of hugging.
Perhaps it was with a hug that they greeted each other before being taken away by their executioners, according to tradition.
But this embrace means much more than a simple greeting between two men who are the pillars of Christianity.
It is a symbolic gesture that goes beyond the message of lovepromoted by Jesus, and rightly put into practice by his two closest disciples: “This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:9-17)
