Holy Venerable Kira of Beria (Macedonian), date of memory: March 13, according to the present day.
She and her sister Marina lived in the city of Beria in the 4th century. Their parents were very noble and rich people, but the sisters did not want to stay in their father’s house, but retired outside the city to a deserted place. They built themselves a dwelling, the entrance to which was blocked with stones, leaving only a small window so that food and drink could be passed on to them. They crowned their bodies with chains and ate food only once every 40 days.
Their maids followed the example of the righteous sisters. They also decided to devote their lives to God. The holy ascetics settled them in a small house not far from their cell. They did not allow anyone into it except Blessed Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrus. He talked for a long time with the sisters and urged them to take off their chains, because this was a very difficult feat, and the maidens were very weak physically. Saint Cyrus, under the weight of the chains, could not even straighten up; she always walked bent over. But no amount of persuasion could change their decisions. They lived like this for 40 years and died around 450.

There is a child’s name in the calendar, but with a different sound: how to baptize Artyom, Svetlana, Denis and others
If we do not find the name of a child in the calendar, this does not always mean that he is not there. Often there are simply archaic forms that are unusual for us today. There are many examples:
Some worldly names are not in the calendar, but there are names with a similar sound (archaic), an example of this is Julia and Julia
Some Slavic names have the same meaning as church names (usually Greek). An example of this is Svetlana. A girl with this name can be christened Photinia (from the Greek “light”).
Some names have their own church analogues, but not based on sound, but in meaning (for example, Svetlana - Fotinia)
A similar pair of names is Bogdan and Theodotus (Greek: “given by God”).
Some modern parents have a tendency to initially name their baby with a name with an ancient sound: not Danil, but Daniil, not Natalya, but Natalia. If they want this, the priest will not mind, and the calendar will only help them make a choice.
However, some priests believe that naming a baby this name should be the sincere desire of Orthodox parents, and not just a way to amaze others and emphasize their originality.
Holy Martyr Kira (Obolenskaya), memorial date: February 8, June 28, December 17 according to the present day.
Kira Ivanovna came from the ancient family of Rurik, being a representative of the 31st tribe of Rurikovich. When the girl turned 10 years old, she was sent to the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens. In 1904, she successfully completed it, receiving special marks for studying the Law of God, and began working as a teacher. This profession will become the work of her whole life, until her martyrdom.
With the time of the establishment of Soviet power, schools tried to get rid of representatives of the “bourgeoisie,” which included Kira Ivanovna Obolenskaya.
On September 14, 1930, she was arrested; during interrogation, she openly spoke about everything that she did not agree with in the actions of the Bolsheviks, to a greater extent this concerned the unfair and cruel treatment of Orthodox believers. As a result, she was sentenced to 5 years in forced labor camps. But at the request of many people who cared about her life, she was released early.
In 1937, she was arrested again and accused of creating a counter-revolutionary organization, as well as of implanting the fascist system in the Soviet Union. The fact that all the charges were falsified and fabricated will be proven only decades later.
Interpretation of each letter of the name
Kirina's fate is directly related to the meaning of the letters in her full name. After all, her character shapes her behavior in society and personal life.
