Name days of Victoria: when to celebrate?

Since ancient times, the baby was chosen according to the long-standing Orthodox tradition - according to the saints. There was a time, namely the era of Soviet power, when it was necessary to abandon this tradition. However, today there is a revival of the choice of names in this way.

Now when choosing a name, modern parents increasingly began to pay attention to the Orthodox calendar. There you can find out, for example, when Victoria's name-day, and if you look at the saints, you can pick up the name of the baby in honor of the saint. It is he who will become the guardian angel of the child for his entire long life.

It is then that the order of naming the name should be performed. If in this case nothing fits, then it is possible to view all the saints in the forty-day period from birth. At the same time, ordinarily, the sacrament of baptism must be performed.

Origin of the name

If you translate the name of Victoria from Latin, then the designation will be more than belligerent, namely "winner." It is worth mentioning that the name day of the Orthodox Church was not celebrated. The thing is that it was replaced by the Greek analogue - Nick.

Even in the distant 258 year, the holy martyr Nick with other martyrs suffered in the city of Corinth. They were persecuted for believing in Christ, eventually all the martyrs were thrown into the water. However, the Lord helped them, and the martyrs, instead of drowning, walked on the water calmly, as if overland. In doing so, they hummed spiritual hymns. The Greeks still did not get confused and caught up with them on the ship. Then they put stones on the necks of the martyrs and drown them.

If you rely on Roman mythology, then you can see the goddess of victory - Victoria, which corresponds to the Greek Nick. The Romans, of course, revered and appreciated this goddess. In her honor, even the temples were erected, the altar in the curate of the Senate was rebuilt, which expressed the worship of the Romans of Victoria. Even coins in Rome were issued with her image.
