The church calendar today celebrates 6 name days.
The Orthodox Church celebrates the name day of some saints every day. On these days, outstanding people and great martyrs are honored in the church, and the namesakes of the saints turn to their patrons. There is a tradition among parents to give their newborns church names. The child is named after one of the saints, whose memory is honored on the birthday of the child. So the child will have his own Guardian Angel and heavenly protection. The name day calendar from UNIAN will tell you who to congratulate on Angel’s Day today and how to name the child.
