How many saints with the same name?
usually one name corresponds to several saints.People who have been named in honor of a saint, themselves also were righteous, were glorified as saints.For example, Xenia of Petersburg was named after an ancient princess, and she then also became a saint.Now everyone knows that the memory of Blessed Xenia February 6, that is, in the holy church calendar was added, and in her honor can also be called children.In the church calendar almost every man's name, but the most exotic, presented repeatedly.For example, the name day of the church calendar Eugene (male name) celebrated six times a year.This, of course, does not mean that one person should celebrate name days six times.Just six glorified saints with the same name.
Name day Eugenia January 6, just before Christmas.As it is necessary to celebrate the name day?For every believer is a spiritual feast.People are trying to this day to go to the temple to thank God and communion.Houses tend to gather friends and congratulate birthday.Name Day Eugenia In this sense, there are several unsuccessful: it is the day on the eve of Orthodox Christmas.To arrange a noisy party in this case is inappropriate.
Name day Eugenia January 6th, right on Christmas Eve, the day of strict fasting.Therefore, usually congratulate Zhenechek in the Christmas itself.
But when the post no name day celebrated as a normal birthday.It's noisy children's holiday, but without the cake and candles, because age does not increase.
And if the birthday and name in one day?
In the case where the baby was named on the calendar, birthday and name match the name of Eugene.But in this case, the holiday will have to wait: on Christmas Eve he is completely unacceptable.Name Day Eugenia in this case transferred to Christmas itself or a day later.However, you can partake in the birthday party without pomposity, modestly.
this day will help you remember the saint after whom is named the child, and read his life.After all his holy people often imitated, even if unaware of it.
