How to choose a name for a girl according to the Saints in February?
In Russia, after the adoption of Orthodoxy, a tradition arose of giving a child a name in honor of the Saints. Why did they do this? It was believed that a person bearing the name of the Saint has a close connection with him, that is, the Saint patronizes him. In addition, the parents believed that along with the name of the Saint, the strength and part of Holiness were transferred to the baby. The name was chosen according to the Saints, that is, according to the church calendar.
Saints are a list of Saints that are distributed by month and date. Almost every day there is a Holy Day. Nowadays, Christian families choose the names of their children carefully; the time when children were called by random names has passed. Basically, the name of the child is given in honor of canonized Saints. If the child’s birthday differs significantly from the day chosen according to the Saints, then on the day of remembrance of your Saint you need to celebrate your name day. In the modern church calendar there are over 1,100 completely different names, mainly Slavic, Greek and Hebrew names are noted in the Saints, there are also names that arose thanks to the Latin language group. In other words, the church calendar or Saints are an inexhaustible source of unusual names that contain enormous internal energy.
