Character of a boy under the sign of Virgo
Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 23)
Little Virgos are usually calm and balanced from the cradle. Obedient and too shy. But from an early age they show attention to all the little things and a critical attitude towards others.
Virgo-children do not like sudden changes in their lives: a change of place of residence, social circle, environment. A Virgo boy can be extremely shy and suspicious. He needs to be told more often that he is loved and good. Don't frighten him or punish him often. He is quite obedient if the need for parental demands is explained
Your Virgo child shows remarkable mental abilities from early childhood. He does not bother his parents with tantrums or unexpected antics. This zodiac sign loves order, so he collects his own toys and folds his clothes. But you should be prepared for the fact that the child will demand compliance with the established rules from his parents.
The Virgo boy's characteristics are fundamentally different from others in that he plans any task with great care; he will not be able to rush headlong into the pool. Also, kids do not like to be the center of attention, however, this does not mean that they do not like it. Virgo boys practically do not participate in conflicts with their peers and are not prone to hysterics. In addition, they are quite neat and always maintain order.
Virgo's health . Almost from birth, babies suffer from various colics ,
appendicitis
,
colitis, dysentery, enterocolitis and poisoning. And this despite the fact that Virgo is the cleanest of the signs. Therefore, their food should be natural, since the intestines are very sensitive. It is necessary to give foods that have an allergenic basis with extreme caution. Virgo often catches colds and is prone to pulmonary diseases. She is resilient and can work a lot without getting tired. Virgo is not in danger of overwork. Virgo has a weak nervous system, so phobias and fears are not uncommon.
Holiday according to the Orthodox calendar 09/23/2018: St. Paul the Obedient, Pechersk
Venerable Paul the Obedient, ascetic of the Far Caves in Kyiv. Orthodox monk of the 13th-14th centuries, saint of the Russian Church, revered as a saint.
Life
After accepting the monastic image in the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery, the monk meekly underwent the most difficult obediences to which the abbot sent him. He was never idle, and when he was not obedient, he ground grain at the millstone, exhausting his body with this hard work and maintaining unceasing inner prayer.
Orthodox calendar for September 23
Main church holidays, days of remembrance of saints and Orthodox shrines of today
September 23 (September 10 according to the old style, church Julian calendar). Saturday of the 16th week after Pentecost (sixteenth week after the great twelve feast of the Holy Trinity, Pentecost). There is no post . Today in the Russian Orthodox Church there is a celebration of the Council of Lipetsk Saints , as well as the memory of 29 named saints of God. Next we will briefly talk about them.
***
Holy maidens Minodora, Metrodora and Nymphodora of Bithynia . These holy sufferers for Christ and His Church were honored with the crowns of martyrdom in the Asia Minor region of Bithynia at the beginning of the 4th century after the Nativity of Christ. Saints Minodora, Metrodora and Nymphodora were Christian sisters who took a vow of celibacy in their youth. Secluded in a deserted place, they spent all their time in prayer and ascetic deeds.
The Lord gave the holy sisters the ability to heal the sick through prayer, and therefore the fame of the virgins very quickly spread throughout Bithynia. One day, the ruler of the Fronton region learned about the future martyrs, and ordered them to be arrested and tortured. During the torture, Minodora was the first to go to the Lord, but even the sight of her tormented older sister did not shake Metrodora and Nymphodora’s loyalty to Christ. After terrible torture, the younger sisters also died.
The pagans tried to burn the bodies of the holy martyrs, but heavy rain did not allow them to desecrate the relics, and lightning struck the wicked ruler Fronton and his servants. Bithyn Christians reverently buried the sufferers, and today particles of their relics rest, including in the Russian Panteleimon Monastery on Holy Mount Athos.
***
Apostles from 70 Apellius, Lucius and Clement . These saints the 1st century from the Nativity of Christ are among the 70 apostles, among whom are both the disciples of the Savior Himself, whom He chose after the first 12 apostles, and a number of disciples of other apostles.

***
Martyr Varipsaus, hermit . Holy sufferer of the late 1st - early 2nd centuries after the Nativity of Christ. According to brief biographical information, the hermit Varipsav was the keeper of the greatest shrine - the blood and water collected in a vessel on the day of the Lord’s crucifixion, which flowed from the side of Christ. Saint Baripsaus was killed by robbers who wanted to take possession of this shrine.

It is important to note that for some time during the reign of her brother Theodosius II, Saint Pulcheria was slandered by his wife Eudokia and expelled. However, at a time when serious unrest began in the empire, the brother repented and invited his sister to help him rule again.
In 450 , three years before her blessed death, 51-year-old Pulcheria married Theodosius’s successor, the general Marcian, making him emperor, becoming his mentor and assistant, but maintaining her virginity in this marriage.
Saint Pulcheria did a lot to heal church unrest and fight against heresies that tore apart the Church of Christ in the 5th century . Thus, it was she who initiated the overthrow of the heresiarch Nestorius from the Archbishopric See of Constantinople in 431 , and in 451, , the Fourth Ecumenical Council was convened in Chalcedon against the Monphysite heresy of Dioscorus and Eutyches.

Several letters of the Monk Theodore the Studite to Saint Peter are known, dating back to the years 816-823 .

Folk traditions September 23
Housewives collected rowan fruits, because, according to tradition, rowan was the sweetest on this day. To strip the entire tree completely was considered a great sin, since the birds remaining in the winter quarters could die of hunger. Birds were associated in the minds of people of that time with the souls of deceased relatives who flew to the living to visit. In this case, rowan served as a treat for them.
Fruit drinks and jelly were prepared from rowan. Rowan branches were hung over window and door frames to ward off evil spirits. Healers made medicinal potions from rowan fruits that helped in the treatment of ophthalmological and respiratory diseases.
