How to choose the right name for a newborn boy for the holy in January?
Many parents who are waiting for replenishment in the family have a question, how to choose the right name for the baby, so that it is perfect for him and does not affect fate negatively.
Our ancestors regarding the choice of a name for the baby had no disputes. The main thing for them was to wait for childbirth. After that, the family went to church. The clergyman opened a church book to the newly made parents in order to choose a name for the holy for the baby.
The child was called one of the Christian saints revered on the day when the baby was born.
Manuscript book: "Saints"
If on the birthday of the child it is not recorded by the holy holy, then the name of the nearest date is taken. Under the arches of the temple, the baby received a name endowed with strong energy, and received a powerful patron.
How to choose the right name for a newborn boy for the holy in January?
- In order for the child’s birthday to coincide with the day of the Angel, you need to choose a name for the shrines. In the old days it was so, but in modern society, parents choose names for their children without thinking about the consequences.
- Today, young parents are increasingly following traditions to call a newborn named Christian saint.
How to choose a name for a boy for a holy
To call a child according to a church calendar means that one of the names recorded on the baby’s birthday is selected. However, other options for choosing a name are allowed here:
- by birthday
- on the Day of Baptism
- by date, striking one or two days from the date of birth
- by date, spacing for several next days from the date of baptism
Our ancestors chose the name for the child in the church
The newborn in the old days during the first week of his life was called a baby, while the name was given with the onset of 8 days from birth. The christening was spent after 40 days from the date of birth.
How to call a child according to the church calendar?
When choosing a name for a child in the saints, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
- Parents should not argue at the time the decision is made regarding the name of the newborn, because this is negatively affecting the child. The name sets a special energy, and if parents are not able to agree peacefully, then it is worth approaching the issue of adversary after a while. Do not worry that the child will be without a name for a long time: you can make a decision up to the christening.
- Both parents and the closest relatives can choose the name to the newborn (if no one has disagreements regarding the adoption of the baby).
- If parents know the alleged date of childbirth and the gender of the child, then they can read about the life of the Christian saints of this day, but making the final choice better after the birth of a child.
- If the name of a strong and wise ancestor falls through the shrines, then it is worth a closer look at him.
- If parents prefer to name the newborn by the name of the ancestor, the date of birth of which coincides with the birth of their baby, then they should choose the name from the church calendar for baptism.
- The name given to the child during baptism, parents should not tell anyone. So they will keep their child from the evil and dashing.
The saints should be carefully studied before stopping on some name
