Our patron saints
known that when a person is born, he was given to help the guardian angel.He must keep his ward throughout his life, hold on ill-considered actions and frankly bad, in sickness and in support of other troubles.But apart from that, if a person is baptized, he receives a new name - after one of the saints.And here to this holy he can handle, counting always on his patronage.However, the question may arise: how to find his holy, who pray?
Subtleties namesday
We've all heard the word "birthday party", but not always correctly interpret its meaning, mistakenly confusing birthday.In fact it is our holy day, is a holiday celebrated in his day.For example, January 19 is celebrated by John the Baptist, or in a national "Ivan", and 13 January - St. Basil, that is,"Vasil".The official called the name day of the church is more difficult - his Name.They do not always coincide with the actual day of birth.
Who is your saint?
To deal with that, how do you know his holy need to get a calendar and church calendar.And also to know some features of the ceremony of baptism.If baptize the baby, parents can opt for it as the official name of what he is going to name the priest.However, this is not necessary.Parents have the right to name the baby according to your taste - then he would be two names - a secular, secular and ecclesiastical.Patron also appointed the one whose name day on the calendar close to the birthday of the new man.Therefore, the question of how to find his holy, the answer is simple: check the church calendar!This principle corresponds to the case when an adult baptized or if one forgot who it was he was appointed as an assistant.
Days angels
Another name name day - the day an angel.In the early 19th century in Russia, he celebrated instead of birthdays and was considered a major holiday in my life.With the abolition of the leading role of the church in the lives of people he gradually replaced by secular holiday.However, the traditions of the past are still deeply revered in many families.In this regard, it may be a problem: how to find his holy if its own behalf in the calendar there?For example, Arthur and Victoria clearly Slavic origin.What to do?Talk to the priest - which he advises.Or study the Scripture itself.If you can pick up in the calendar name, translated close in meaning to you - take it.But if there is no analogue - then the choice for those who organizes or conducts baptism.The same choice is made, and when the saints with the same name a few.So, there is St. Demetrius of Thessalonica, there Dmitry Donskoy, Prilutsky and others.Their name day celebrated on different days: October 26, May 19, June 1, etc.Who it is to take in patrons and when to celebrate the name day - depends on the willingness of the people themselves.The main thing that a man at his birthday party attended church, defended the service, or simply prayed from the heart.Good to confession and receive Holy Communion.And it is quite correct to order the priest to his holy prayers.
