PRAYER to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. Every year, on June 29, the Orthodox believers glorify the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. Saints Peter and Paul are celebrated together because they died on the same day, June 29, AD 67. However, the two apostles received a martyr’s death in a different way: Paul, because he was a Romanian citizen, was killed by beheading, and Peter was crucified upside down.
In the iconography, Petru is painted old and with a round beard, and Pavel bald, with a gray beard.
