Kak nazovut, tak i zhit' budesh'. Vybor imeni. Nebesnye pokroviteli. Sviattsy - Pecherskaia A.

The name has long been considered an inseparable part of every person. Behind a simple set of letters and sounds hides a person, a person with his unique features, character features and unique destiny. An even deeper meaning is attached to the naming process of Christianity: during the ordinance of Epiphany, the child is given a Christian name, and from now on the holy protector can ask the Lord for forgiveness and mercy for him. This book tells about the Orthodox tradition of naming. You will learn about the origin of Russian Orthodox names, about what they mean and with which saints bind us. What role do the guardian angels and pleasing people of God play in the life of an Orthodox Christian? What does it mean to honor your patron saint? With the help of an Orthodox name word, or Saints, you will be able to pick up a name for a newborn, as well as determine the day of their birthdays.
