Therefore, you should not chase fashion trends and give your baby too much original name. It is also worth choosing in combination with a surname and patronymic, because if, for example, the patronymic is “Vasilievich,” then the name “Apollo” will look quite ridiculous.
- “rubbing with incense” or “alien from evil” - “protector of people” - “resurrected”, “returned to life” - “bringer of joy” Asklipiad - “non-Greek”, “barbarian”, “foreigner” Barnabas Vasilisa () - “royal ", "queen" Vassa - "bringer of victory" Golindukha - "precious" Dominata - "favor" Eutropia Euphemia Euphrosyne Elizabeth () - "God's oath", "God's help" Iaroya - " torrent" - “given by God” Juliania () - “from the family of the Julians” Iulitta Julia () - “from the family of the Julians” or “fluffy”, “curly” Cyprilla Kyriacia - “like a lion” Livia () - “olive”, “olive tree" Luka () - "clear" - "clear" - "sea" Marionilla - "bitter", "beloved", "stubborn" Marcellina Markia () - "hammer" - "mistress", "mistress" Matrona Nikita - " saint" Pamva Perpetua Potenziana Sarah () - "noble", "princess" Sebastiana Seia Tatiana () - "founder", "organizer" Fevronia Theodora () - "owner of the good" Theodosia Theodotia Thomas Chionia

What is Christmas time? What date are they in 2019? How were Christmastide celebrated in Rus'? What were the traditions? Read about it in our article!
Christmas time in 2019

- Dates in 2019: from 7 to 17 January.
- Dates in 2020: from 7 to 17 January.
- Dates in 2021: January 7 to 17.
- Dates in 2022: from 7 to 17 January.
What are Christmastide?
What do we associate with Christmastide? With laughing, rosy faces, sleigh rides, gifts and other simple, joyful and cheerful things. With only one caveat: as a rule, all these pictures are not painted for us. personal experience, but literary classics of past centuries. The heroes of Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoy take part in the Christmas games, and they come from completely different walks of life. Our ancestors knew how to rejoice. Maybe we should learn from them?
How old are Christmastide?
The tradition of celebrating Christmastide is rooted in such deep antiquity that not even oral traditions remain from those times. When Prince Vladimir threw pagan idols into the Dnieper, the custom was already five hundred years old. And even when Rurik founded Novgorod, Christmastide was no longer young.
Employees of the Russian Ethnographic Museum claim that in pre-Christian Rus', Christmastide was associated with the name of the god Svyatovit. What kind of god this is and why he was given a special two-week holiday, scientists are still arguing. It is believed that “Svyatovit” is just one of the names supreme god Perun. Be that as it may, the Slavs tried in every possible way to please this god, first of all so that he would send bountiful harvest. On Christmastide, Svyatovit was supposed to leave some festive food, which was thrown into the oven especially for him. The Slavs believed that at the beginning of winter, the spirits of the gods and the souls of ancestors descend to earth, and at this moment you can “beg” from them a bountiful harvest, a handsome husband, money, and in general anything you want.
The Christian tradition of celebrating Christmastide has also been known since ancient times. Back in the 4th century, Greek Christians rested, had fun and celebrated strictly for two weeks after (according to one version, the word “Yuletide” comes from the verb “to hallow”, since on Christmastide the people “sanctify”, that is, they glorify Christ and the Birth of Christ). Special attention The focus was on ensuring that everyone had a joyful mood: the poor, slaves, prisoners. In Byzantium, it became a custom at Christmas time to bring food and gifts to prisons and hospitals, and to help the poor. We find mention of Christmastide as a special post-Christmas celebration in Ambrose of Milan, Gregory of Nyssa and Ephraim the Syrian.
With the advent of Christianity, Christmastide in Rus' also began to be filled with new meaning. Nevertheless, the attitude of the Russian Church towards Christmas festivities has always been ambiguous. Many hierarchs spoke out not only against fortune telling, but also against caroling and the custom of “dressing up” on the basis of the resolution of the VI Ecumenical Council, which reads: “Those who resort to wizards or others like that in order to learn something secret from them, are subject to the rule of six years of penance ( i.e., they are excluded from Communion for six years)... we reject dances and rituals performed according to an ancient and alien to Christian life ritual and determine: none of the husbands should dress in women's clothing, not characteristic of a husband; don't wear masks." Then the supporters of Christmastide came up with an ingenious “solution” to the problem: on Epiphany, an ice hole in the shape of a cross was made in the ice of a river or lake, and the entire population of the village plunged into it, washing away the sins committed on Christmastide.
Over time, the religious meaning of pagan traditions was completely forgotten, and Christmastide became a time when people especially glorify Christmas and the mercy of the Lord, who sent Jesus Christ to Earth. All that remains from the ancient pre-Christian Christmastide is winter, purely Russian irrepressible fun.
Christmastide in Rus'. About the tradition of celebrating Christmastide
Hooliganism sanctified by tradition
Christmastide has always been a national holiday, at this time class boundaries seemed to disappear, everyone was united by a common joy. According to the number of customs and folk signs Perhaps only Maslenitsa can compare with this period of the year.
In the ancient times, pre-Petrine times there was a custom on Christmas Day in every village to light a fire, which with its light in the darkness winter night symbolized the Star of Bethlehem and burned until baptism.
The people's favorite pastime during Christmas time is dressing up and caroling. In Rus', and then in Russian Empire On Christmas Eve, young people gathered together, dressed up as animals or mythological characters like Ivan the Fool, and went caroling around the village or city. By the way, this is one of the few Yuletide traditions that survived in the post-Petrine era, despite the fact that most of the population moved to the cities. The main character among carolers has always been a bear. They tried to dress the fattest guy in the village or neighborhood with it. The mummers entered one by one each hut where the light was on. Teenagers and children sang Christmas troparion, spiritual songs, carols... Carols are something like Winnie the Pooh chants, in which the owner of the house is praised and through which treats are begged from this very owner. Songs were often composed on the spot, but there were traditional rules in this art that came from ancient times. The owner, for example, was called nothing less than “the bright moon,” the hostess — “the red sun,” and their children — “pure stars.” However, those who knew how came up with more expressive dignifications: “The master of the house is like Adam in heaven; the mistress of the house is like pancakes with honey; Little children are like red-green grapes...” The carolers promised a rich harvest and a happy life to those who give treats, and all sorts of disasters to the stingy. Sometimes there were even threats in the songs: “Whoever doesn’t give me a pie, we’ll lead the cow by the horns, and if he doesn’t give me ham, we’ll split the cast iron...” All this, of course, was in jest. Sometimes they sang absolutely, even deliberately meaningless sentences. The owners received guests and gave whatever they could.
It is extremely difficult to establish where the word “kolyada” itself came from. IN different parts In Russia this word has different meanings. In the north it’s just “Christmas Eve”, in the villages Novgorod region"Kolyada" - gifts received at Christmas. In Belarus, “caroling” means “glorifying Christ.” But ethnographic scientists believe that the ancient Slavs used this word to call the winter solstice holiday.
Another Christmas custom is to get the whole family together in the evenings, invite guests (as many as possible), tell fairy tales and ask riddles (as complex as possible). This tradition, like caroling, lived not only in villages, but also among the urban nobility. Literary critic Yu. M. Lotman in his comments to “Eugene Onegin” writes that it was customary to separate “holy evenings” and “terrible evenings” (the first and second weeks after Christmas respectively). On “holy evenings” they held cheerful night gatherings, on “terrible evenings” they told fortunes. The young people were going to dance, during the day - to ride a sleigh, and play snowballs. By the way, after Christmas there were always a lot of weddings. “In gatherings, fortune-telling, games, songs, everything is aimed at one goal - to bring the betrothed closer together. Only on holy days do boys and girls easily sit hand in hand,” wrote folklorist I. Snegirev in the book “Songs of the Russian People.”
The most “antisocial” Yuletide tradition is “pampering.” Children and teenagers gathered in large groups at night and played as mischievously as they could. A classic joke was to nail up the outside gate of a house or to stir up a pile of firewood. Another entertainment is the ritual theft of something. You could steal anything, but always with noise and songs, and not secretly. IN Soviet times, despite all the prohibitions, collective farm tractors were often “stolen.” Immediately after the holidays, of course, they were returned to their place.
The last days of Christmastide were devoted to preparing for Epiphany. The best village craftsmen cut a cross-shaped hole in frozen reservoirs and decorated it with patterns made of ice.
July girls love constancy and stability; they are family and home keepers of the hearth. They are flexible and soft girls who find it difficult to get used to new things. Girls born in July should be protected for as long as possible, because their timidity and kindness sometimes complicate their lives, although this is exceptional good qualities.
