The name Eugene, whose Angel Day falls on different days of the year, is beautiful and popular among Russian people. If you name your son that, do not forget to look at the calendar when the child has a name day.
Celebration tradition
In Russia, the day of the Angel of a person has always been celebrated on a special scale. The whole family prepared for this event in advance: they baked pies, cooked mead, made gifts. In the evening, the birthday boy went to church for confession, and in the morning, if possible, he took communion, he always kissed the icon of his divine patron, put candles in front of it and other images of saints, and then went home. All the relatives were already waiting for him there. Godparents, friends, acquaintances were invited to the festive table - everyone who knew and loved the hero of the occasion.
Saints officially recognized by the Orthodox Church, more than two thousand. People often do not know when to answer their Angel day, because many of God's saints have the same name. In this case, it must be remembered that the patron is always one, and he may have several days of memory. For example, the finding of relics, the day of glorification in the face of saints andetc. You need to navigate by the date of your birthday and look for God's saint, whose memory stands next to or after this event. Thus, Eugene, whose day of the Angel happens many times a year, should know exactly when the church celebrates the memory of his saint.
How does Angel's day relate to choosing a baby name?
Believing people try to give such a name to the child at baptism, which is in the Orthodox calendar. In Russia, this ceremony was performed on the eighth day from the birth of the baby. He could receive a name in honor of the saint whose memory the church honors on the day of the child's baptism. In another case, the parents have already chosen a heavenly patron for their baby, and God's saint will not necessarily be remembered on this day. The celebration of the saint may be, for example, in a month. Let's say little Eugene, whose Angel Day, judging by the number of God's saints, can be almost all year round, will definitely not be deprived of a heavenly patron.
Of course, nowadays young parents can give any name they like to their child (sometimes it is not even in the calendar). Children are named after grandparents, close relatives and best friends. However, now Orthodox Old Russian names are just coming into fashion, which are given to babies in honor of saints so that they have strong patrons. The name Eugene, whose Angel Day occurs almost every month of the year (according to the number of saints), is also quite popular in our time.
The origin of the name and itsfeature
Many people try to always celebrate the name Angel Day. Eugene is translated from Greek as "noble". Since childhood, the boy has been distinguished by industriousness, but if an obstacle arises in his way, he may get scared and not finish what he started. Already an adult young man is often rescued by innate stubbornness and the desire to achieve his goal at any cost. Growing up, Eugene becomes a sweet and good-natured person in communication. His excessive ardor is able to inspire others to do something, and is often a talented organizer. His intuition is at its best.
Sometimes Zhenya is very picky about others, but this can be explained by the fact that he is demanding of himself. In science and technology, he will have no equal, but it is difficult for Evgeny to concentrate his attention on one thing for a long time. He likes the feeling of adrenaline in the blood, so Zhenya often takes risks without thinking about the consequences. He has a light disposition. This is the whole of Eugene, whose Angel Day can serve as an excellent occasion for friendly gatherings with friends. Zhenya easily falls in love and looks for more care and warmth in women than external beauty. Eugene rarely goes into conflict and mostly prefers to maintain peace in the family. Little kids love it.
