Features of choosing a name for a child

There are certain tips for choosing a name for a newborn. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them first:

Choose a name that will sound good with a middle name. Sometimes parents do not give enough attention to this moment, and the child suffers in adulthood.

Be careful if you want to name a child after someone. It is advisable to familiarize yourself well with the biography of this person. It is generally accepted that the name leaves a certain imprint on the fate of a person. But there are also cases when the character traits of one person can be transferred to another. Moreover, the child can repeat some episodes of the life of his namesake. So be careful and especially carefully approach this issue.

How to determine the name day of a child if he was not named on the day of the saint's name day

It happens that the name of the saint was liked, but it occurs on a different day, and not on the birthday of the child. In this case, the priests recommend looking through the church calendar and finding the name of the saint after the birthday. The first one that will meet and will be the name day. And if the name is not found in the calendar, then you need to seek help from a priest who will help you choose a consonant one.

Name day or namesake day is called one of the main and important in the life of every Christian. This day is considered the day of the heavenly patron of the child, after whom he was named. Priests recommend coming to church on such holidays and reading thanksgiving prayers to their guardian angels for protecting you.

Name of the child at baptism

It happens that at baptism the priest calls the child a different name. This is explained by the fact that when pointing damage or other magical rituals use church name child. That is why parents are forbidden to tell it to anyone. It is believed that the saint patronizes the baby and protects him from negative influences.

Remember that choosing a name is serious enough for every person. You need to think carefully before making a decision. After all, a child is given a name once and for all his life.

The Lord is always with you!

On April 22, the name day is celebrated only by the owners of the name Vadim. Women's names are not presented today.

The Orthodox calendar for 2020 tells us that on April 22 it is customary to honor the Cypriot icon of the Mother of God.

Previously, name days were celebrated on a larger scale than birthdays. However, those who had these two holidays coincided were considered especially lucky.

Birthday people set the table with various dishes, gathered guests and celebrated joyfully, thanks to their Guardian Angel.

Name days still remain a popular holiday, although they are not celebrated on such a scale. Holders of the names of patron saints pray to the protector, asking him for mercy and help.

The patron never leaves the wards of girls and boys, always looking after them and guiding them in a difficult situation.

The icon was found in Cyprus in 392, where Lazarus was buried. Now it is kept in a monastery erected on this site.

The icon depicts a seated Virgin Mary with her son in her arms, on the right and left of her are angels. Her power to heal people is known throughout the world.

Once a man passing by the church decided to laugh at the icon and fired an arrow at it. The blood that came out spilled to the ground, and the blasphemer died before he could reach the house.

Even copies made from this unique icon can work wonders. All of them are kept in churches, where to this day a huge number of people strive to get.
