The birth of a child for every family is not only a great joy, but also a test. Many different responsibilities arise that were not there before. The family's lifestyle begins to change. Everything begins to revolve around a new little man. The most important thing at this time is to support each other and help in everything, putting grievances aside. But along with this, another important action arises - choosing a name for the child. The church, or rather its calendar, can come to the rescue. It lists all the name days in March. Previously, the question of what to name a child was not so pressing. After all, this issue was resolved with the help of a church book, which is called the Monthly Book or the Saints. It contained about 1,700 names. Mostly male. Parents were asked to choose a name from a specific list, based on certain requirements.

All church holidays in March 2022

From February 28 to March 6 inclusive, the favorite holiday in Rus', Maslenitsa, is celebrated, which is accompanied by noisy, cheerful festivities, delicious pancakes with various fillings, and the burning of an effigy at the stake. These days are the Continuous Weeks (28.02-06.03). This is the name of the weeks in which there are no fast days.

In the first month of spring in 22, there are holy holidays: parental Saturdays or days of remembrance of the dead. They will take place on March 19 and 26. There are no great religious holidays or twelfth celebrations celebrated this month. The next year 2022 will not be a leap year, so in Russia the divine holiday of the Finding of the Head of the Baptist, the Son of God John the Baptist, is scheduled for March 9.

During leap years, believers celebrate this holiday a day earlier on March 8th.

Significant church dates also include the permanent celebration of the Day of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God, which is celebrated on the 15th.

March 22 is the Orthodox holiday of 40 saints, which has several names. Believers also call this celebration the Forty of the Forty, Lark Day or the 40 Holy Martyrs. What calendar dates in March 2022 you can find out by day by opening the calendar. For each day of the month there are several names of Saints who are usually remembered in prayers.

If you open the monthbook, then on a certain date the day of the angel of the patron saints of all people born falls. In the old days, names were given to children according to the church calendar.

How will the child grow up: the meanings of male names

Alexander	He grows up sickly from childhood, but gets stronger if he gets involved in sports. The boy does not accept refusals; he stubbornly pursues his goals. Already in kindergarten he becomes a clear leader, but does not strive to lead the group. He's more of a loner. Justice for Alexander is not an empty phrase.
Alexei	Alyosha immediately shows himself to be a man. He is very attached to his family and strives to protect and protect all its members, especially his mother. He does not like to talk idle, preferring to prove everything with actions. That is why his opinion is valued by friends, and later by colleagues.
Andrey	Andryusha loves to fantasize. When he is carried away by the game, the whole world ceases to exist for him, and requests to calm down seem to be addressed not to him. He is a good friend, quickly gets used to the new company, but does not like to be in charge. As a rule, Andrey has no problems with his studies.
Anton	By choosing the name Anton for your boy, you will learn from his infancy what a charmer is. Antosha lavishes smiles and winks on everyone around him, and this does not go away with age. The boy has a heightened sense of justice, and with it, responsibility. He respects his parents and is very hardworking. Despite the lack of pronounced talents, he is capable of any task.
Arseny	The boy has a very sensitive, kind soul. This is noticeable in his attitude towards his mother and grandmother. A careless word can deeply hurt Arseny, so close friends can be counted on the fingers of one hand. He loves animals and has a good ear for music.
Vladimir	The boy has been friends with logic since childhood, so convincing him to do something (or not to do it) will work best with the help of explanations, not orders (he will simply ignore them). Vladimir's practicality is evident in everything: he constantly strives to improve or invent something, and then test it in practice. Physics and drawing at school were created as if for him. Growing up, he becomes a first-class architect, lawyer or technician.
Victor	The boy is completely devoid of any intuition, so he is often deceived. But Victor is not offended for long. He is ready to forget everything and continue friendship, which many perceive as weakness. In fact, he is a very kind boy. He loves books and films about adventures, and growing up, he often becomes a sailor or an excellent businessman.
Gerasim	You will rarely meet such a calm boy like Gerasim. The best gift for him would be a construction set, the more complex the better. This is a pedant whose room is always in perfect order. He won't go to school in a wrinkled shirt. The flip side of such pedantry is a strong sensitivity to grades, and not only school ones. A bad mark or a sidelong glance can unsettle him, although Gerasim learns easily thanks to his excellent memory.
Gregory	By choosing the name Gregory from all the names for boys, you will get a fidgety and fidgety person who cannot live without the attention of others. This is the main leader in the yard, and at school, although he honestly tries to study, he constantly receives comments in his diary that he was fidgety or disrupted the lesson with jokes. The boy is very ambitious and quickly gets involved in fights with offenders. Having married, Gregory becomes a real wall for the family, protecting his wife and children from all adversity.
Dmitriy	Dima gets sick much more often than his peers, and his medical history at the clinic resembles a huge Talmud. The mother almost never leaves the baby until he grows up, but then it turns out that Dimochka is used to increased care and cannot imagine life without her. Whims and inability to make decisions on their own force parents to support the already adult Dmitry. He is a good worker, but he will be worse at leading.
Ivan	This is the most versatile name for a boy. Vanya can be whatever he wants: affectionate or rude, caring or indifferent, resourceful and helpless. To realize himself to the fullest, Ivan needs a firm guiding hand to which he will become obedient. First it will be the parents, and then it can become a good wife. Things come easy to Ivan, no matter what he undertakes. He doesn't worry about failure.
Konstantin	Kostya grows up as a constrained boy. He is a little cowardly, and therefore anxious and does not strive for large companies. Loneliness is reflected in the boy's academic performance: teachers praise his concentration and diligence, despite average grades. He has good analytical skills, but it is difficult for Konstantin to get along with people.
a lion	Little Leva rarely cries or bothers her mother with anything else. He remains calm even as he grows up. This is an observant boy who knows how to think through his actions. Give him chess and you will see a grateful sparkle in his eyes. To bullies in the yard, the phlegmatic Leo seems like an easy prey, but only from the first conversation. He knows how to fight back. As an adult, Leo enjoys fishing, hunting, and hiking in the mountains.
Michael	Logic is Misha’s second nature. His favorite words are “why” and “why”. Misha will study educational encyclopedia books to the core, and later easily apply the knowledge in practice. Mikhail can build a house himself, guided by a construction textbook. At school he manages to do everything, saving his energy for classes and helping around the house.
Philip	The baby adores his loved ones, including his sisters, brothers and pet turtle. This is an affectionate boy who will try to reconcile those who argue and calm the offended. He himself does not show that he is upset about something, so as not to disturb his parents. He hides grievances inside himself and does not like to sort things out. It seems like he doesn't care. For Philip to be happy, he needs the feeling of a strong rear.

March names for girls

Choosing a name for a girl is no easier than choosing a name for a boy. It must also be treated with full responsibility. Just like men's, a list of name days for women's names according to the church calendar in March is written in the church calendar. If you don’t like any of the ones you choose, you’ll have to look at other options. Remember that the name must be consistent with the patronymic and surname.

Some parents, if they already have older children, ask for their help in choosing a name for their younger children. Remember that sometimes they can get carried away and name the baby after a cartoon character. Then it will be difficult for you to explain the refusal of such a decision.

Among women's name days in March there are:

02.03 – Marianna, Anna, Maria;
03.03 – Anna;
06.03 – Olga;
07.03 – Irina, Varvara, Praskovya, Elizaveta;
11.03 – Anna;
13.03 – Marina, Kira;
14.03 – Anna, Olga, Alexandra, Antonina, Evdokia, Nadezhda, Daria;
16.03 – Marfa;
17.03 – Ulyana;
18.03 - Iraida;
19.03 – Elena;
20.03 – Antonina, Anna, Ksenia, Evdokia, Maria, Ekaterina, Nadezhda;

If you named your child without using a calendar, then look at the girl’s name day in March, and if there is no such name, then look at the subsequent months. The first name found after the birthday will be the name day.

The main task when choosing a name is to choose one that will not subsequently bring grief to either you or the child. After all, the child will live with him all his life. And modern parents are increasingly resorting to calling their children fictitious names or foreign names that are not adapted to our patronymic names.

That is why the choice should be unhurried and well thought out. After all, some of the qualities that it carries within itself will be transferred in a certain way to a person’s character. Be reasonable and rely on your own feelings and intuition.

The Lord is always with you!

Aries boy character

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

If your son is Aries, then be prepared for inexhaustible enthusiasm and energy that literally overflows. Due to an excess of energy, little Aries often give the impression of hyperactive children. They cannot sit still for ten minutes. Aries simply need physical activity, so they prefer outdoor games.

Aries boys are very energetic due to their fiery nature. They love various competitions and competitions; the spirit of competition is very strong in them. Moreover, the slogan “The main thing is not victory, but participation” is clearly not about them. For Aries, it is important not only to participate, but also to win. Such children do not like any restrictions, they simply do not accept them. And they often act contrary to everyone who limits them in some way.

The main disadvantage of Aries is that they quickly get excited about some new ideas, but do not follow them through. They flare up very quickly, but also quickly lose interest in them, especially if they do not manage to get their way right away. Children of the Aries sign clearly lack patience and perseverance.

Another drawback is their desire to act, often without thinking through their actions. Usually the Aries boy is sensitive to his own failures, but they only force him to accomplish new feats with even greater stubbornness. To develop the will to win, parents should explain to their child that refusal to act does not always mean weakness. Sometimes you have to wait for the right moment to achieve what you want.

Children born under this sign often suffer from headaches. Concussions are also common, since the head is their weak point. Children often also have problems with their teeth. Digestive problems may occur because they do not chew food well in a hurry. Their immunity is quite strong, colds are intense, with high temperatures.

Aries children born in the year of the Rat like to make their own decisions, act impulsively and thoughtlessly. We talked more about the April baby 2022 in this article.

POETESS ALCHEVSKAYA

On March 16, 1882, in Kharkov, a daughter, Christina, a future writer, teacher, translator, and poetess, was born into the merchant family of Alexei and Khristina Alchevsky. Parents tried to give their children the best education to provide them with a decent future. After graduating from school, Christina was sent to higher pedagogical courses in Paris in 1902.

Returning from training to her native Kharkov, she gets a job as a teacher of Ukrainian and French at a local school. Khristina Alekseevna preferred to devote a lot of time to self-education, she reads a lot, and from an early age she made very successful attempts at writing.

With the beginning of the new century, revolutionary unrest comes to Europe, which is provoked by the difficult life of ordinary people. Khristina Alekseevna very characteristically notices this in her poems. She meets the literary elite of Ukraine.

Boris Grinchenko, Lesya Ukrainka, Olga Kobylyanskaya, Mikhail Kotsyubinsky, Vasily Stefanik, Nikolai Voronoi had a huge influence on the worldview of Khristina Alekseevna. An amazing acquaintance and long-term friendship with the French writer Henri Barbusse contributed to the creative surge of the young poetess.

Having survived the revolution, the Alchevsky family moved to the Lugansk region. Christina remains to live in Kharkov, she is trying in every possible way to understand the changes taking place in people's lives.

In addition to poetry, Khristina Alekseevna is a talented translator. She was a true polyglot. Fluent in several European languages. She has done literary translations from Ukrainian into Russian, Polish, French, German and vice versa.

Christina Alekseevna was destined for a short life. She died in 1931 at the age of 49 in Kharkov. The Soviet government did not pay any attention to the writer. But in 1982, in connection with the centenary of the birth of Khristina Alekseevna Alchevskaya, UNESCO included her name in the calendar of significant dates so that the world community would know about the talents of famous Ukrainians, so soullessly consigned to oblivion.
