Tradition of celebration

In Russia, the day of the Angel of Man was always celebrated on a special scale. The whole family prepared for this event in advance: they baked pies, cooked mead, made gifts. In the evening, the birthday boy went to church for confession, and in the morning, whenever possible, communed, he was necessarily attached to the icon of his divine patron, put candles in front of her and other images of saints, and then went home. All relatives were already waiting for him there. To the festive table were invited godparents, friends, acquaintances - all who knew and loved the originator of the celebration.

Saints officially recognized by the Orthodox Church, more than two thousand. People often do not know when to answer their Angel's day, for many of the saints of God have the same names. In this case, it must be remembered that the patron is always one, and there may be several days of memory for him. For example, the celebration of the relics, the day of glorification in the saints' face , etc., should be celebrated. We must orient ourselves by the date of our birthday and look for God's saint, whose memory stands next to or after this event. Thus, Eugene, whose Angel Day is numbered by number many times a year, should know when the church celebrates the memory of his saint.

How is Angel's Day related to the choice of a name for the child?

Believers try to give such a name at the christening to a child who is in the Orthodox saints. In Russia this ceremony was performed on the eighth day after the birth of the baby. He could receive the name in honor of that saint, whose memory the church honors on the day of the child's baptism. In another case, parents have already chosen a heavenly patron to their crumbs, and God's saint will not necessarily be remembered on this day. Celebration of the saint can be, for example, in a month. Let's say that little Eugene, whose Angel day, judging by the number of saints of God, can be practically all year round, just as surely will not be deprived of the heavenly patron.

Of course, at present young parents can give any name they like to their child (sometimes they are not even in the saints). Children are named after grandparents, close relatives and best friends. However, just now the Orthodox Old Russian names are coming into fashion , which give babies in honor of saints that they have strong patrons.
