- Name day
- Maria Kravets
It has long been believed that a child bearing the name of an angel is forever under the protection of this saint. It is for this reason that people have always paid special attention to the baby’s birthday and its meaning. So, on August 19th there is a big religious holiday - the Transfiguration of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ. People also call this day Apple Savior. In the article we will find out who celebrates name days on August 19, the meaning of names and their influence on fate.
Apple Spas
This holiday belongs to the 12 major Orthodox holidays. This is the second Savior, when a variety of fruits of the earth are blessed in the church:
- pears,
- plums,
- apples.
The name day on August 19 is closely connected with the holiday itself. For this reason, of course, it is necessary to know what day it is. By celebrating this great holiday, the Russian Orthodox Church glorifies the union of the Lord God with his people in the person of His son Jesus Christ. It was on this day many years ago that Jesus climbed Mount Tabor with his beloved disciples James, Peter and John. At some point, the Savior glowed with an unusually bright and white light. He was transformed (this is where the name of the holiday comes from - Transfiguration). A cloud appeared around Jesus, and the voice of God came from heaven:
This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; Listen to Him” (Matthew 17:5).
Of course, now the disciples realized that before them stood the incarnate Son of the Lord, who would grant salvation to all the people.
Gunsmith Day in Russia
In 2010, in Russia, thanks to the famous gunsmith Mikhail Kalashnikov, creator of the AK-47 assault rifle, a new professional holiday appeared on the calendar. On May 25 this year, Putin visited the Izhmash defense enterprise in Izhevsk. After inspecting the workshops that have been producing weapons for decades, the Prime Minister talked with leading designer Mikhail Kalashnikov, who proposed establishing a gunsmith's day in Russia.
The day of celebration was chosen to be the day on which the Orthodox Church honors the patron saint of the heavenly host - Archangel Michael. The holiday is celebrated in all cities with active defense enterprises, but this day brings the greatest joy to residents of Izhevsk, the birthplace of the AK-47 assault rifle, as well as the city of Tula, known for its traditions of creating weapons.
Name day
Choosing a name for a child is not an easy task. But most often parents do this with the help of the calendar. In this case, the patron saint of the baby will be Jesus Christ. But the name day is celebrated on August 19:
- Non;
- Christina;
- Arkhip;
- Makar;
- Michael;
- Saved;
- Feoktist.
At the same time, if you don’t like any of the names, you can safely choose those that are nearby (August 18 and 20). These days you can find many modern names in the calendar. Therefore, name day on August 19 is also celebrated:
- Maria;

Sometimes a child is given several names. One of them is chosen according to the calendar (this will be the church name with which the baby is baptized). The other is recorded on the birth certificate. It is believed that only the closest and dearest people should know the name given at baptism. In this way you can protect your child from many troubles and misfortunes.
Jewish Feast of Tabernacles Sukkot
The holiday lasts 7 days. At this time, farmers rest until the first rains, having completed the harvest. The word “sukkah”, which gives its name to the holiday, means “booth” or “tent”, symbolizing the rejection of the illusion that a house is made secure by its roof. Reliability and security of existence depend on other reasons. According to one interpretation, the meaning of the commandment to remain in the sukkah is so that a person does not forget about poverty while being rich, and so that he does not become proud.
On the eve of the holiday, special markets are organized where lulavs, etrogs, palm branches for roofing, as well as various devices for decorating and building a sukkah are sold. All over the country, you can see huts in courtyards and front gardens, on verandas and balconies, and car parking lots. Nowadays someone spends the required seven days in a hut.

Smiley's birthday
One of the major additions to the electronic lexicon was the proposal in 1982 by Professor Scott Fahlman to use a combination of characters - a colon, a hyphen and a parenthesis - to indicate a smiling face in text. The emoticon has become indispensable in electronic communication. It replaces facial expressions and voice intonation - exactly what is missing when communicating via email or chat. A smiley helps you better understand your interlocutor and his mood; besides, they are funny and evoke joyful emotions.
