Choosing a name is a very responsible step for the parents of a newborn baby. For the Orthodox, the most important thing in choosing a name for a child is the calendar, that is, the church calendar with a list of the names of all the saints. Which saint, according to the date of veneration, is closest to the date of birth of the baby, this name will be given to the baby. If you like the name Xenia, and that's what you plan to name your daughter, it's time to find out when Xenia's name day is.
With the revival of Orthodoxy, the name day, or the day of the angel, firmly took its place in the list of celebrated holidays. Unfortunately, not all people understand the essence of this celebration, often identifying it with a birthday. However, these two dates have nothing in common. Angel Day is the day of veneration of the saint, in whose honor a person is named, and who is his patron.
Usually, the process of choosing a name for a newborn is quite complicated and should happen at a specific time:
Before baptism, parents usually communicate with the priest, who will conduct the ceremony, and one of the questions that interests them is how to choose church name baby. There are several options here.
Principles for choosing a name for baptism:
- Parents are invited to familiarize themselves with the biography of saints, whose date of veneration according to the calendar is close to the date of birth of the child. Among them, you need to choose one whose life and virtue is closer to the family in which the child was born, this name is given to the baby at baptism.
- Nowadays, more and more often newborns are called exotic names that are absent in the calendar. In this case, you also need to choose another name for christening, consonant with the worldly one or according to the previous principle. For example, Jeanne at baptism and for subsequent church life can be called Anna, Liana - Leah.
- You can baptize your child with the name on the birth certificate. Some parents want to choose a middle name to avoid spoilage, but the church, of course, does not support this.
Top tips for choosing a baby name- choose a simple name of a saint who will later become a patron and an example for your child. One of these names is Xenia.
The origin of the name and influence on fate
There are several versions of the origin of this name.
According to the first the name Xenia comes from the Greek "xenia" and translates as "hospitable". The second version says that the derivative is the Greek word "xenios" - "guest, stranger." Another theory claims that this name comes from the name of short ancient poems with which it was customary for the Romans and Greeks to greet guests.
AT modern language the name Ksenia has several options - a diminutive version of Ksyusha and characteristic of Ukrainian language Oksana.
They say that the name affects the fate and character of a person. As for Ksyusha, girls and women with that name are distinguished by enviable beauty. They are always resolute, bring any started business to the end. Despite their perseverance, Ksyusha is distinguished by extreme touchiness, sensitivity and tenderness. They are always ready to help in a difficult situation and sincerely sympathize. AT family life Ksenia is helped by wisdom and gentleness towards her soulmate, thanks to which women with this name become excellent housewives and keepers of the hearth.
In the Orthodox calendar, Ksyusha has several patrons. All of them are in varying degrees served God and should be an example for girls named after them:
As you can see Xenia's name day according to the church calendar is celebrated 7 times. But this does not mean at all that Ksyusha's name day should be celebrated seven times a year. To determine your angel day, you need to choose a date that follows your birthday. For example, the patroness of Ksyusha, who was born on September 8, is the Martyr Xenia. But the girls born in the first days of February have two holy mentors at once - the holy reverend Xenia of Milas and Blessed Xenia of Petersburg, whose name days are celebrated on the same day.
Attention, only TODAY!
Or name day - this is a special day of the year dedicated to a saint. At baptism, each person is given a name, and often it does not coincide with the real one (for example, Yuri becomes George at baptism). As a rule, name days among Christians are celebrated on a larger scale than a regular birthday. This is explained by the fact that with the assignment of the name of a saint at baptism, a person is given the right to turn to him in difficult life situations, to count on his help and support. In a word, a person has a guardian angel in the face of a saint, whose name he bears. In this article, we will talk in more detail about when Ksenia's name day is celebrated, and what it is connected with.
First of all, it should be noted that the name Xenia itself belongs to Greek, and in translation means “foreigner” or “guest”. It should also be noted that in Ancient Greece itself, “xenia” (pungent comic rhymes) hosts often met their guests. Some of them, due to their absence, could even be offended.
Xenia's birthday
Xenia has two patron saints. One of them is Blessed Xenia of Petersburg, who lived in the distant 18th century. After the death of her husband, Xenia gave away all the acquired property and went around the world with faith. The Lord for the patience of Xenia and her exploits glorified the woman during her lifetime. Moreover, he endowed her with a wonderful gift of clairvoyance and clairvoyance. As soon as Ksenia took the sick child in her arms, he was immediately healed. Xenia's birthday - January 24th.
The second patroness is Ksenia Milasskaya, who also renounced a carefree life and devoted herself to serving God. Saint Xenia during her lifetime did not refuse anyone, she always helped the poor and the weak, instructed sinners. Her name day is August 13th.
According to the church calendar, Xenia's name day is celebrated seven times, but this does not mean that the owners of this name should honor their saint so many times. It is important to note that many saints have the same names, but completely different honor dates. For example, there are more than a hundred St. Johns alone in the writings. Of course, each person should have only one patron saint, and name days - once a year. In this case, you should follow one simple rule: you need to find out all the dates of honoring the patron saints of your name and choose the one that will be next after the date of your birth. This day will be considered the Day of your Angel.
Regardless of when Xenia's name day is celebrated, in the world girls with that name are known as quite stubborn and at the same time solid. Ksenia will always complete any business, therefore women with this name are suitable for positions associated with perseverance and responsibility (statistician, secretary, accountant, archivist). On the other hand, Ksenia can perfectly cope with the tasks of a teacher-tutor. She will “torment” her student to the last, so that he finally understands the whole new material. In Xenia's household, they often behave stingily and economically, but order will always reign in the house.
