What is name day or angel day?
Every person knows when his birthday is, but not everyone is aware of their angel day. Vladimir, for example, celebrates it more than ten times a year, but Olga only once. So what are name days?
The child has his or her angel day immediately after baptism. Baby during church sacrament is named after some saint, who will later be its patron.
The clergy claim that every person is accompanied by two angels throughout his life. The first is given to the soul at birth, it protects it from evil, troubles and unseemly deeds. He tries with all his might to guide a person on the true path and lead him along this path until the end of his life. And the second angel appears only after baptism. The saint after whom the child is named will pray for him before God and ask Him for help in the most difficult times. The day on which the church commemorates this saint will be the name day of this or that person.
So when is the day of the angel of Vladimirov? We will tell you about this now.

How to choose the right name for your baby?
Previously, the name in Rus' was called “adverb”. Since ancient times, this concept has served as a talisman for children. At that time, many people firmly believed that if you call the baby by the dialect of Mesyatseslov, then the baby will be happy all his life.
Therefore, the name was chosen from the church calendar based on the date of birth of the baby.
Today, parents name their children as they wish. But there are those who want to live up to tradition and name the baby according to the Saints.
But there are days in the church calendar when only men's Saints are celebrated. In such a situation, parents can choose a name not only based on the baby’s date of birth. In Rus', a child was named on the eighth or fortieth day after his birth.
Therefore, if you don’t like the names of Angels on the days the baby is born or they are completely absent, you can choose adverbs based on other dates:
- According to ancient tradition, it was on the eighth day of the baby’s birth that a celebration was held, where the parents named their heir for life. This tradition appeared during the life of Jesus Christ. According to legend, Jesus Christ was named precisely on the eighth day after his birth.
- You can name the baby on the day of baptism on the fortieth day after his birth. The rite of baptism is ancient Orthodox tradition. During the sacrament, the baby is given a church name, which he will bear in heaven.
Important! But the church says that the baby should be named before the sacrament of baptism.
Whether to follow this rule is an individual choice of the parents themselves. At baptism, the baby is given a different name if none of the church names is liked.

Much in a person’s life, oddly enough, depends not only on his own actions, but also on how responsibly his parents reacted to the choice of his name at his birth. There are a great variety of names for every choice and varied taste. Some people think that they couldn’t find anything more beautiful than the chosen one, while others won’t understand how loving parents could name their baby that name. Nowadays young people are most focused on church calendar, realizing that choosing a name after them gives the child a chance to have his own angel behind him. Of course, for 2019no different from previous years. Except that more euphonious names appear in it along with the ancient ones. To our taste and hearing, of course. And the old ones, which you rarely hear in everyday life, are gradually disappearing.
Before the baby is born, all relatives are included in the discussion. Naturally, everyone wants to suggest the name they liked the most. The memory of first love, of a deceased parent. It happens that you really like names from some of our or foreign films or TV series. For example, after the film “The Cook,” many girls with the beautiful name Pavlina appeared in the country. What can we say, even Juan’s parents showed up - fans of Latin American TV series. Well, what can you do, there are moms and dads who give movie names. These are mostly mothers, and men imprint the memory of their favorite football player or boxer in the child’s name.
Of course, I wanted the child to have a non-standard name. So that when you call your loved ones, a few more don’t turn around. And also so that it somehow harmoniously comes into contact with the patronymic. After all, a child grows up and wants to achieve something in life. Then the first name and patronymic will come in handy.
Since ancient times, the church named the baby at baptism. And the priest, having looked through the calendar, could give the parents a choice, or he could not do this. That's why names appeared that were somehow not perceived by ear. modern people. But only because on the day of baptism in the church book there was not a rich selection of names. Two, maybe three. And try to choose one of them that will roll in your mouth like caramel when you sound it. But still, when choosing any name, it was believed that such a child had a godfather in the form of an angel, who was constantly present behind the right shoulder.
Orthodox name day calendar for 2019 by dayis now relevant and has become fashionable. When the time comes for the baby’s baptism, you should approach the priest in advance at the church closest to you or the one you visit most often and look at the names in the calendar for the child’s birthday. Didn't like any of them? No problem. You can find a name that falls on the seventh or fortieth day after birth. Of course, no matter how beautiful the name may be, if that was the name of some great martyr, then it is not worth giving it to a child at all. What if fate repeats itself?
We looked at the names, and the soul doesn’t like them. Well, no problem. Call your child any name. And the priest will find something consonant with him (Ivan - John). Because if you then want to go to church and order, for example, a magpie for the health of your pupil or student, you will definitely be asked again for the child’s church name given at baptism.
It is advisable to buy and place closer to the baby an icon of the saint whose name the child was named. On the day of remembrance of a saint or equivalent to him, it is also good to place a yellow wax candle near his icon. And the birthday boy should never forget whose name he was named after. When he enters a church, he can pray and ask for something near the icon of the saint whose name he was named after.

Make the right choice
Of course,name day calendar for 2019incomplete here. There are many more names in the calendar. There are modern ones, and there are those that are no longer even found in the patronymics of their parents. But they were probably popular once upon a time. And even the baby’s mother managed to reduce the name, which was rude to our ears, and come up with an affectionate one.
In order to give a child a name for life, you need to go to the nearest temple where you want to bring the child for baptism and ask the clergyman to make a choice with you. It’s difficult to choose right away, because there are quite a lot of them. Especially, of course, men's, not women's. There are closer to two thousand of them there. But, having filtered out the dissonant, slightly outdated ones, you need to stop at one or more. Write down the ones you like, come home, look up the meaning of the name on the Internet, consult with your household and choose. But we remind you once again that it stays with the child for life.
Name church child receives once for the rest of your life. He can change his secular name upon reaching adulthood, but he cannot change his church name. The names are repeated in the calendar. If it so happens that the name of a saint or someone equated to him is present in several months at once, then the candle in the church on the day of the angel should be lit on the day that is closer to the date of birth of the child.
Coming up with a name is probably the easiest thing of all. But the child must be raised so that he corresponds to his name and does not tarnish the name of the saint. After all, it may happen that at the right moment the assistant, the one who should always be behind the right shoulder of his godson, will not be there. Therefore, by cultivating character traits that will be useful in life, we improve the child’s future and the very quality of life.
