There is a special rite of giving a name, when the priest, after reading a prayer, gives a name to a newborn baby, but these days this ceremony is rarely performed, since not everyone knows about it. Parents name the child themselves, and, bringing it to the church for baptism, it sometimes turns out that there is no saint with that name in the calendar. Then another name is chosen for the child, called a baptismal one.

Name of the patron saint

Most people joining the faith, are in the dark about how to recognize their guardian angel, to whom one could offer prayers daily and turn their thoughts in difficult and confusing life situations.

A guardian angel by date of birth in Orthodoxy is called a patron saint by name and birthday. This concept came from antiquity, when it was believed that an angel is the protector of earthly namesakes. Although this perception is not entirely correct: at baptism, God gives each baby a Guardian Angel, but no one knows his name. But the name of the heavenly intercessor can and should be known.

Formerly named great importance. People were sure that the name of the newborn determines his fate. IN pre-revolutionary Russia the child was named after the saints. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the twentieth century, beautiful and meaningful names superseded by awkward acronyms. The boys and girls of Dazdraperma, Vilorika, etc., appeared. Of the normal ones, no more than two hundred names remained in use, they were given chaotically and thoughtlessly. Only since the end of the last century the situation began to change for the better.

If a person was named according to church tradition as a baby, then his name coincides with the name of the saint whose memorial day is celebrated from birth on the eighth day. If not, then to determine your saint, you should refer to the calendar of patron saints by date of birth.

In the church calendar, you need to find the day of commemoration of a saint with the same name as a person. It is he who is the heavenly protector, patron and main spiritual assistant of a person throughout his life. But every believer needs to remember that one should not only turn to one’s saint with pleas for help when the soul is painful or life presents trials, but also honor him, trying to imitate his feat. For this you need:

1. To know about his deeds during his lifetime, which made him famous and earned forgiveness from the Lord.
2. IN Everyday life always think about how the patron would act in a given situation, try to follow his example.
3. Know by heart the troparion to your saint and pray often, turning to him.

Saints by the nature of life and deeds are: apostles, martyrs, prophets, saints, confessors, holy fools, righteous, etc. And a person, imitating your patron, should strive to continue his good deeds. For example, the saints denounced vices, led them out of error and brought salvation to people, showing the way to faith and Orthodoxy.

The martyrs fearlessly went against people's opinion to please God, they always acted in a Christian way, they were ready to suffer for their faith. The holy fools did not pursue earthly material goods, they were humble and not greedy. Reverend monks kept the purity of thoughts, were estranged from worldly pleasures, valued spiritual wealth.

Saints and icons by day and month of birth

In addition to the troparion, an icon is dedicated to each saint, which helps to establish a spiritual connection between the worshiper and the patron.

For example, if according to the church calendar the patron is Saint Cyril, then one of his images can be preferred: Cyril is a Slovenian teacher, Cyril is equal to the apostles. Or choose St. Cyril Angel - Guardian as a patroness icon.

If the intercessor by date of birth is St. Paul, then you can turn to the icon of the Apostle Paul or St. Paul the Guardian Angel.

Knowing the name of your saint, you can ask the temple servant which icon you can pray to.

There is also a hint by date of birth - who is the patron saint and what image to turn to in moments of mental anguish, ignorance or grief:

• People whose birthday falls on dates from December 22 to January 20 are patronized by St. Seraphim of Sarov. You can also pray to the icon " Sovereign" with the image Mother of God.
• Saints Athanasius and Cyril are the intercessors of those who were born from 21.01 to 20.02. It is better for them to turn to the icon of the Mother of God "Vladimirskaya" and "Burning bush".
• If the date of birth is from February 21 to March 20, then the patrons are Alexei and Milenty of Antioch. Icon for prayers - Iberian Mother of God.
• It is good to address the image of the Kazan Mother of God to those born from February 21 to April 20, their patrons are Saints Sophrony and Innocent of Irkutsk, also George the Confessor.
• If the birthday falls on a date from April 21 to May 20, then the saints are the Apostle John the Theologian, Stepan and Tamara. And the images are the Iberian Mother of God and the "Guide of sinners."
• Those born from 21.05 to 21.06 are helped by the heavenly intercessors Alexei of Moscow and St. Constantine, and the icons are “Burning Bush”, “Vladimirskaya” and the image of the Mother of God “Search for the Lost”.
• Saint Cyril patronizes people who were born from 22.06 to 22.07. Their icons are the Kazan Mother of God and "Joy of All Who Sorrow".
• For those who were born from July 23 to August 23, Nikolai Ugodnik and Elijah the Prophet are the defenders. Icon for addressing God - "Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos".
• If a person was born from August 24 to September 23, then his saints are Alexander Nevsky, John the Theologian and the Apostle Paul. Intercessor icons - "Burning Bush" and "Passionate".
• Those born from September 24 to October 23 are under the auspices of Sergius of Radonezh. The icons “The Burning Bush”, “The Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord” and the Mother of God of Pochaev suit them.
• The intercessors of those born from 24.10 to 22.11 are the icons of the Mother of God "quick to hearken" and "Jerusalem". Patron Saint Paul.
• Those who were born from 11/23 to 12/21 are under the auspices of St. Barbara and St. Nicholas. With prayers, they can turn to the icons of the Mother of God "Tikhvinskaya" and "Sign".

It often happens that a person considers the saint of the same name to be his patron, even if his own birthday and the date of commemoration of the intercessor are in different time intervals. In this case, the day of memory of the patron saint is the name day or the day of the person's guardian angel. For example, if parents named a child born in March Vladislav, then his name day is celebrated on September 24, the day of commemoration of St. Vladislav. Or if a boy born in May was named Artemy, his name day is November 2, the day of memory of Artemy of Antioch.

An icon without faith is powerless

A person can meticulously calculate the name of the patron saint by date of birth, name his children in accordance with church calendar, memorize prayers, buy icons and hang on yourself pectoral crosses and amulets, considering them amulets. And with your thoughts and deeds in everyday life, violate all the commandments. In this case, his actions cause nothing but bitter irony.

Prayer with a pure heart

People must understand that any material object by itself does not kill and does not save. If a person who does not believe in God hopefully hangs a cross as an amulet or puts an icon in a corner and looks at it as a beautiful and fashionable picture, then this will be his prayer to the devil. But when an Orthodox believer hangs a cross with hope, this action will be his prayer to God, who has real salvation. If with inspiration and with a pure heart say a prayer in front of any image, asking for protection, advice and consolation, then this prayer will reach God.

Patron saints by name and date of birth. How to recognize the patron saint? In the life of the Orthodox people, patron saints appeared in the 4th century.

Absolutely every person has a guardian angel, because everyone orthodox christian bears some specific name and has a birthday.

As you know, there are ignorant people who constantly shout that they have developed intuition or some kind of supernatural instinct when they hear their inner voice. These people simply do not know that they are only using the tips of their patron. When a person is on the verge of a choice, with different critical situations our guardian angel sends us all sorts of clues, to which we subconsciously listen. And in many situations, it is enough to ask him for help and wait for his sign, because they often do not like to interfere in the everyday affairs of a person. There are also people who believe in divine powers and refer to such power as magic wand, that is, when asked, they immediately expect the immediate fulfillment of their desire. Remember that this happens extremely rarely, help may come with a delay. In fact, it is very difficult to explain what our patrons are guided by when determining the timing of intervention. But we can only hope and wait for divine help. Also, do not forget to thank your heavenly helpers. They do not need any performance with sacrifice, but just a few mental words of gratitude are enough. Also, do not take internal conversations with your angel as an attack of the clinic. Mental communication never hurts. Orthodox believers should not forget that their guardian angel is primarily a patron saint by name and date of birth. Our heavenly helpers are alien to manifestations of filth, violence, cruelty in us, they will never be happy with the negative energy that hovers over us. Never communicate with your angel as with an all-powerful servant. It should be respected and protected. Required reading: Mortal sins in Orthodoxy.

All parents who are going to baptize a child are interested in determining the patron saint. Now appeared new tradition among Orthodox believers nominal icons by date of birth. A Christian can have many patron saints, and the church approves of the sincere desire of the parishioners.

When my daughter and I approached the church shop, our eyes ran wide from the number of images. It is extremely difficult to navigate directly when buying a holy image, so you need to ask in advance about your patron saint. In the article I will tell you about the images of the Virgin and saints that can be made nominal.

In Rus', they learned about heavenly patrons in the 4th century. Babies were specifically named as a saint, so that he would protect and guide the crumbs along the path of truth. However, the saints are mistakenly confused with the guardian angel. An angel is acquired after baptism, and a patron saint can be chosen.

Angels are incorporeal beings who help the believer, while saints are just people in the flesh. They are also sometimes called angels, but they were still people. IN Orthodox Church there are holy calendars, they contain all the saints and martyrs for the Christian faith.

The Church venerates the saints on a specific day of the year, but sometimes the dates for venerating the saints coincide. And then the parents have a choice of which saint to take as patrons for their child. After that, you must definitely buy an icon of your saint and constantly pray to him. First, parents pray for their child, and then the child himself, as he grows up, can pray to his saint.

The tradition of naming a child after a saint has ancient roots and a special meaning. It is believed that the name of the saint has positive influence per person, as it belonged to a righteous Christian. The name, as it were, leads a person through life, determining the choice of the right path. Just as the saint was God-fearing during his lifetime, so the namesake patronized by him will also be an exemplary Christian.

If there is no icon of your patron in the church kiosk, it can be ordered from the icon-painting workshop.

How to determine the name day, if at baptism the name of another saint is given (not the one who was honored on this date)? Then you need to look at the calendar of the day of honoring your namesake, following the day of baptism. For example, if a girl was baptized with Anna on November 21, then her name day should be celebrated on December 3 - the day of veneration of St. Anna. And 21.11 celebrate the day of the angel.

Icons by date of birth and name of a person will be constant companions, a talisman against diseases and difficult circumstances.

Such icons are powerful force, able to protect against terrible life events and sudden death. With a nominal icon, a believer must spend his life until the last minute. Nominal icons differ from others in that the saints are depicted on them waist-deep.. The images are decorated in a wooden frame, they are accompanied by a prayer appeal to their patron.

A short prayer to your saint:

Measuring icons

For baptized babies, measured icons are sometimes ordered. The patron is drawn in full height, and the size of the icon corresponds to the growth of the baby. These are also nominal icons by date of birth and name. The image is placed above the cradle of the baby so that he is under the constant protection of the heavenly patron.

When the child grows up, parents should tell about his patron. After all, it is necessary that a child from childhood establish a spiritual connection with his saint and establish a trusting relationship. Reading stories about the life of a saint is intended to guide the steps of the child in the path of righteousness and holiness.

Date of birth and icons

The tradition of choosing an icon by date of birth appeared recently. It seems closer and dearer to a Christian precisely that icon, the day of veneration of which coincides with his physical birthday. Which patroness icon by date of birth is considered the strongest? The Church Fathers advise choosing the image that you like best.

Outcome

Now you know how to choose personalized icons. I would especially like to note that we should not forget about the dates of honoring our patron saints. Write it down in a notebook, circle it on a calendar. These days should not be confused with the day of the angel - this is the date of your baptism. Name day coincides with the time of honoring the saint whose name you were named at baptism. If the day of baptism coincides with the time of honoring the saint whose name you were named, then the name day and name day are celebrated on the same day.
