When is Vasilisa’s name day according to the Orthodox calendar?
There are five dates in the church calendar that go like Vasilisa’s angel day. Before baptism, the one closest to the birth of the child is selected, and then the girl is named that way.
January 21 is the day of the martyr Vasilisa of Egypt (abbess). According to legend, together with their husband, Julian, they remained virgins and organized monasteries: female and male. Vasilisa became the abbess of the monastery. She lived during the difficult times of Diocletian's reign. The emperor had a negative attitude towards Christianity, and the saint was beheaded with a sword on his orders.
March 23, April 29 are the days of the martyr Vasilisa of Corinth. She is remembered on the cathedral day of the Corinthian martyrs. The woman, being a follower of Saint Kodrat, voluntarily went to torment for the teacher. All of them were killed after long torture by order of the ruler Decius.
September 16 is the day of remembrance of the youth Vasilisa, the holy martyr of Nicomedia. A nine-year-old girl was captured by the ruler of her hometown and then forced under torture to renounce her true faith. But the holy girl endured all the torment and remained alive thanks to the grace of God. Having seen this miracle, the ruler Alexander who tortured her believed in Christ and repented of his sins.
April 28 is the day of the holy martyr Vasilisa of Rome. The woman was converted to the Christian faith by the Apostle Peter. Together with another martyr, Anastasia, during the persecution of Christians, she collected the bodies of those killed by the arbitrariness of Nero’s tyranny, and then gave them burial according to Christian rites. For this, the saint was imprisoned and subjected to terrible torture by fire. Even before her death, the martyr did not renounce Christ, but accepted her with honor.
Venerable Vasilisa 4th of July life. The church honors the memory of the martyr Basilissa of Nicomedia

A photograph of Evgeny Chernyshev, taken while extinguishing a fire in the Ostankino TV tower, was used on a fake postal block issued on behalf of the postal service of the Republic of Somalia. The block does not contain Chernyshev’s personal information; most likely, the photo was taken from the Internet and was aptly suited as a symbol of a simple firefighter.

The meaning of the name Vasilisa
The name became widespread from Greece in the Roman Empire. From there it passed into the Christian tradition, and then “settled” in Rus', becoming a common medieval name among the Eastern Slavs.
The ancient Greek word “vasilissa” has a direct analogue in meaning – the Russian adjective “royal”. This is very true for Vasilisa, because this woman is usually a noble person who knows how to present herself.
It is no coincidence that in Greece this word was used to refer to the wives of kings. Modern Vasilisa is a real first lady. Having met her man, she will be his faithful support and reliable partner for life.
Characteristics of the name Vasilisa
Women bearing this name are people with difficult characters. Perhaps this is precisely how the royalty inherent in this meaning is reflected. They often consider themselves superior to others, acting strictly and aloof.
Little Vasya is a modest child. Her shyness and high level of self-criticism make it difficult to treat herself adequately. Hard work and pedantry help Vasya do well at school. Often such a child devotes more time to lessons than to communicating with other children. Because of this, it may seem that Lisa is an unsociable girl. Often she is simply shy, and cannot find a common language with her peers, who are more interested in entertainment than knowledge.
Her strengths are exact sciences and applied crafts. Vasilisa has no equal in needlework. But problems may arise with the humanities: Vasya is accustomed to the precision and clarity of her favorite mathematics and physics.
It is better for parents and surrounding adults to support Vasya’s self-esteem, preventing her from slipping into the abyss of self-digging. Praise and support can best set your child up for achievements.
As for health, little Fox is a strong child who rarely causes problems for her parents with endless colds.
Age-related changes affect Vasilisa not only externally, but also internally. Here it is important for parents to prevent crossing the line from adequate self-esteem to excessive arrogant pride. Women with this name consistently build a career, often in the scientific field. Those who have Lisa as their supervisor will be unlucky. Her pedantry develops into exactingness: she does not forgive other people’s mistakes, because she herself always strives to do everything perfectly. Sometimes, with the best of intentions, she can begin to criticize others without asking, which inevitably leads to conflicts.
Due to her difficult character, often the first attempts to build a family life for Lisa end in fiasco. Not every man can withstand a fighting and strict attitude. It may take many years before a woman finds a partner who will be as strong and strong-willed as she is. With a strong man, their union will be strong, and Vasya herself will treat her husband with tenderness and respect. She loves children very much, so she strives to have her own. In motherhood, demandingness does not go away, but thanks to her love for her offspring, Vasilisa learns to treat them more gently.
Slowness is observed in relationships with other people. Due to his character traits, of course, Vasya takes a long time to become close to those around him. Only a few can consider a noble soul full of kindness and altruism. Such women have few friends, but all of them are tested by both time and deeds. She is a caring friend who you can always rely on.
As in childhood, Lisa prefers solitary evenings to noisy companies. You shouldn’t try to mold her into an extrovert, because she likes calmness and confidential one-on-one conversations. Due to her internal conservatism, naturally, Vasilisa will take all attempts to remake her with hostility.
Profession and career
Vasilisa is a name for a girl without ambitions. She will never agree with the eternal race up the career ladder; she will not understand why everyone is in such a hurry to live their life as quickly as possible, instead of going out into the field and breathing deeply, looking at the endless blue sky.
Even having matured, Vasilisa remains a slightly fairy-tale heroine, completely different from most people. Most likely, she will strive for marriage, in which she can become a housewife, calmly keep the hearth and take care of the children. But if he still decides to choose a profession, he will be either a doctor or a teacher. She will not strive for wealth or fame - her innate philosophy will not allow it. If she has talents, she will certainly engage in creativity, but she will never want to turn her favorite activity into a profession and a way of making money.
And, of course, in her free time Vasilisa will do charity work. This could be helping in orphanages and nursing homes, volunteering, or working for free at an animal shelter. She will certainly go out regularly on cleanup days, trying to make everything around her clean and beautiful. Vasilisa always believes that every little thing can change the whole world - and, looking at her works, the people around her begin to believe in this.
Most likely, Vasilisa will live a long and happy life, with the full knowledge that she did not spend her time in vain.
The secret of the name Vasilisa
Like any woman, Vasya is fraught with many mysteries. Not everyone can understand how this woman manages to reach the top. She does not give in to difficulties, overcoming every obstacle on the way to her goal with honor. Composure and self-discipline are the components of her success. Vasilisa rarely gives up when faced with problems. She can only hide for a while, waiting for the right moment and gathering her strength for a victorious breakthrough.
Don't let the coldness and calm deceive you. Vasya has the habits of an explosive choleric person, so conflicts with her are fraught. She can pretend that she has forgiven you, and then, with all her cunning, strike and remember all the grievances. Patience, which so often came in handy for Vasilisa in her work, will come in handy when she plans her revenge plan. It is better to be friends with such people rather than be enemies.
Despite the difficulties in his behavior, Vasya is a selfless person who knows how to both sympathize and help. You can always turn to her in times of adversity, and true friends know about this trait of a woman.
The character of Vasilisa depending on the time of year in which she was born
- WINTER
- SPRING
- SUMMER
- AUTUMN
Born at this time of year, Vasilisa requires special attention to herself.
She does not like to give in, she is selfish, and sometimes even conflictual. She strives for recognition and respect, she is emotional, which prevents her from looking at things soberly. With age she becomes more balanced and calm, but in adolescence it can be very difficult to deal with her. Tender and charming Vasilisa is constantly thirsty for adventure. Thanks to her qualities, she gets everything she wants from people, especially from the stronger sex, she loves risk and at the same time is unusually lucky.
Born in the summer, Vasilisa came into this world to achieve perfection. She cannot sit still and develops wherever possible. Not a day goes by that she doesn't take a step towards her goals. Any obstacles on this path irritate her terribly that she is ready to sweep them away.
She is ready for dialogue and believes that any conflict can be resolved through words. Very pleasant to talk to, but at the same time a little withdrawn, it is difficult for her to show her emotions, because she tries to please everyone, sometimes forgetting about her desires, which can lead to neuroses.
