The chapel, consecrated in honor of Saints Peter and Fevronia, patrons of love, family, and fidelity in Russia, was built in 2018 on the territory of the "Yaroslavskoye Vzmore" resort after the opening of the updated ethnocultural complex "Tygydym Village." On the day of the chapel's consecration, the ceremony was conducted by Bishop Benjamin of Rybinsk and Danilov, assisted by Deacons Ilya Sleptsov and Nikita Vedernikov. Notably, there was no chapel dedicated to these saints in Yaroslavl before this.

The story of Peter and Fevronia is presented in the "Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom," a work of ancient Russian literature from the 16th century, written by monk Yermolai the Sinner at the request of Metropolitan Macarius. However, the metropolitan did not include this "life" in the Great Menology due to its legendary nature, and it circulated as an apocryphal text. According to the tale, before his reign, Peter killed a fiery serpent but became afflicted with leprosy from its blood, which no one could cure.

In a dream, it was revealed to the prince that he could be healed by the daughter of a beekeeper who gathered wild honey. Her name was Fevronia, and she lived in the village of Laskovo in Ryazan land. A messenger sent to find a doctor for the prince discovered her at a weaving loom, where she was weaving canvas, with a hare jumping before her. Fevronia, speaking in riddles, tested the guest's knowledge of the "language of wisdom."

As payment for her treatment, she asked the prince to promise to marry her. Fevronia healed Peter, but he did not keep his promise due to her humble origins. However, leaving one sore unhealed, she cured him again, and the prince was forced to marry her.

When Peter inherited the principality, the boyars did not want a commoner as princess and offered him a choice between his wife and the principality. Peter and Fevronia sailed away from Murom, but soon unrest broke out in the city, and the boyars asked them to return. Upon their return, Fevronia won the love of the townspeople.

In old age, having taken monastic vows under the names David and Euphrosinia, they prayed to God to die on the same day and be buried in one coffin, which they had prepared in advance. They passed away on the same day and hour. Despite their bodies being laid in different monasteries, the next day they were found together.
