It must be remembered that the calendar November does not coincide with the church month in the old style. It is 13 days closer to autumn than to winter (according to the holy calendar, it ends on December 13 according to the Gregorian calendar). We will briefly "flip through" the pages of hagiographic literature according to the days of the modern calendar. Orthodox name days in November are celebrated by people with both the most familiar and rare names.

First of all, let's remember the most amazing saints, and also mention rare names in numbers (we will indicate them in brackets after each name).
