Ὁ Ἅγιος Πέτρος, πρίγκιπας τῆς χρυσῆς Ὀρδῆς, ἦταν ἀνεψιὸς τοῦ Χάνου τῆς Χρυσῆς Ὀρδῆς. Ὅταν, τὸ 1253, ὁ Ἅγιος Κύριλλος († 21 Μαΐου), Ἐπίσκοπος Ροστώβ, ἐπισκέφθηκε τὸν Χὰν καὶ ὁμίλησε γιὰ τὶς ἀνάγκες τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν τῆς περιοχῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν θαυμάτων τῶν ἱερῶν λειψάνων τοῦ Ἁγίου Λεοντίου τοῦ Ροστώβ († 23 Μαΐου), ἔκανε μεγάλη ἐντύπωση στὸν Πέτρο καὶ ἄγγιξε τὴν καρδιά του. Ἔτσι ἀκολούθησε τὸν Ἅγιο Ἐπίσκοπο, ἐβαπτίσθηκε καὶ ἐνυμφεύθηκε. Στὸ βίο του διακρίθηκε γιὰ τὴν ἀγάπη του στὴν ἡσυχία καὶ τὴν προσευχή. Μετὰ ἀπὸ μία θαυμαστὴ ἐμφάνιση ἐνώπιόν του τῶν Ἀποστόλων Πέτρου καὶ Παύλου, ὁ Πέτρος ἀνήγειρε μονὴ κοντὰ στὴ λίμνη Νέρα πρὸς τιμήν τους. Μετὰ τὸ θάνατο τῆς συζύγου του, ὁ Πέτρος πρέπει νὰ ἔγινε μοναχὸς καὶ ἐκοιμήθηκε μὲ εἰρήνη, τὸ 1290.
