When are the Days of the angel Anna, a beautiful female name, celebrated? You can answer this question simply by listing the dates. But let's find out what the name day tradition means, what is the meaning of this name, what characteristics do women with the name Anna have?
Name day, Angel Day
In Orthodoxy, at baptism, a person is given another name - a name before God. It is chosen from the names of the face of saints, the memory of which is celebrated either on the day of his birth or on the following days. Thus, at this moment a person acquires a "heavenly" namesake, the dates of honoring which (according to the church calendar) will be the days of his name day.
"Like our birthdays…"
The tradition of celebrating name days is back. Either people are looking for an additional reason for the holiday, or they really turn to spirituality - this is on the conscience of each person. In Russia, name days have been celebrated since the 17th century, and “birthdays”, in our understanding, were introduced after the revolution, when everything religious was exterminated in any of its manifestations.
Angel Anna Days
Name day is a regaling of saints with the same name that was given to a person whenbaptism. Since there are several saints with the same names in the Saints, therefore, name days can be several times a year, or even a month. However, it happens that the baby is named Anna at baptism in honor of a certain saint. Then Anne's Angel Days are celebrated only on the day of remembrance of this canonized woman.
"In your name let your life be"
So spoke the Optina elder. What does the name "Anna" mean? From Hebrew - "grace", "mercy". The name "Anna" has such energetic characteristics - sincerity, sincerity, activity. Women with the name Anna are sacrificial, they have a too serious approach to life and to themselves. Often they choose the path of altruism, throwing their personal needs and goals to the sidelines. The result of such "mercy" can be illness and unsettled life. However, they make excellent wives because of their patience, thriftiness and tolerance. The main thing for Anna is not to meet a gloomy bore with the same “serious” outlook on life, but a “light”, sincere and caring man who will save her from herself.
What date is Anna's Angel Day (name day)
All Annas can celebrate their name days (Angel Days) on such dates according to the church calendar (Saints):
- February - 13, 16;
- April - 8, 13;
- May - 25, 26;
- July - 18;
- August - 5, 8;
- September - 10, 22;
- October - 15;
- November - 4, 10;

These dates are Anne's Angel Days.
