After Peter's move to Moscow, the Cathedral of the Dormition and several other stone churches were built by Ivan Kalita in the Moscow Kremlin. The foundation of the [[Vysokopetrovsky Monastery]] in Moscow is ascribed to St Peter. He also authored a few [[sermon]]s and [[epistle]]s.
After his canonization by [[Alexis of Moscow|Metropolitan Alexis]], his veneration was propagated all over Moscovy. Accordingly, many churches were dedicated to Peter the Metropolitan in Moscow and other cities of Russia. The Russian Chronicles mention him frequently, and no significant state undertaking was initiated without prayers at the grave of St Peter. The relics of St Peter were transferred in 1472 and 1479. In memory of these events, his [[feastday]]s were established for [[October 5]] and (the [[August 24Synaxis of the Hierarchs of Moscow]].==Common day for hierarchs of Moscow== Commemorated on ) and [[October 5August 24]], a celebration of a special day to honor Saints Peter, Alexis, Jonah the Metropolitans and Wonderworkers of All Russia was established by Patriarch Job on October 5, 1596.
