How to choose the right name of the newborn girl in the shrines in April?
Saints are the names of the saints Great martyr, angels, ministers of the church and believers of historical personalities, whom the Church respects. From time immemorial, an Orthodox person who venerates faith was seriously a choice of a name for a newborn child. It was believed that a person receives his name in this world, born on a certain day, on which it is customary to glorify saints.
On the other hand, the child’s baptism day is of great importance, after all, this day is the day of his presentation to God. Thus, the parents had two options: the day of the birth and day of baptism in the church (according to the old custom - exactly 40 days from birth). The chosen name connected the baby with his patronto whom it belonged. This patron must protect the child throughout his life: protect from evil, mistakes, serious illnesses.
In the modern world, parents stopped giving the saints special significance. Nevertheless, no matter how originally a child was named (Milan, Jessica, Violetta, Stella), in the church he will be given an Orthodox name And you can choose it according to your preferences and intuition. In order not to be mistaken (everyone knows that the name determines the character of a person), you should learn in detail about the origin of each name, interpret the meaning.
