Patron saints appeared in the life of the Orthodox people in the 4th century. Many parents, hoping for the grace and protection of the saint, often named their children by the same name. Absolutely every person has a guardian angel, because every Orthodox Christian has a specific name and has a birthday.
The patron saint appears in a person with the first heartbeat at birth and protects us until the moment of death. The main calling of a guardian angel is to protect a person from troubles, diseases, and evil spirits. In this article we will answer the question of how to recognize your patron saint by date of birth and name.
Which patron saint protects you?
As you know, there are ignorant people who constantly shout that they have developed intuition or some kind of supernatural sense when they hear their inner voice. These people simply do not know that they are just using the tips of their patron.
When a person is on the verge of a choice, in various critical situations, our guardian angel sends us all sorts of hints, to which we subconsciously listen. And in many situations it is enough to ask him for help and wait for his sign, because they often do not like to interfere in a person’s everyday affairs.
There are also people who believe in divine powers and treat such power as a magic wand, that is, when making a request, they immediately expect the immediate fulfillment of their desire. Remember that this happens extremely rarely, and help may come with a delay.

In fact, it is very difficult to explain what our patrons are guided by when they determine the timing of intervention. But we can only hope and wait for divine help.
Also, do not forget to thank your Heavenly helpers. They do not need any performance with sacrifice, but just a few mental words of gratitude are enough. Also, you should not perceive internal conversations with your angel as a clinical attack. Mental communication never hurts.
Orthodox believers should not forget that their guardian angel is, first of all, a patron saint by name and date of birth. Our heavenly helpers are alien to manifestations of nastiness, violence, and cruelty in us; they will never be happy with the negative energy that hovers above us. Never communicate with your angel as an all-powerful servant. It should be respected and protected.

Patron saint named
Angel Day in the Orthodox Church is highly valued, because it is the day of the heavenly intercessor, a saint before a person, whose name is given to a Christian. How to correctly identify your Orthodox patron saint? As a rule, the day of the heavenly patron is the next day of celebration of the saint whose name the person bears. This is done because the day of some saints is celebrated several times a year.
Let's take an example: for Anna, who was born on November 20, Guardian Angel Day will be celebrated on December 3, the closest day when Saint Anna of Persia is remembered.
To determine the name of your heavenly patron, use the Orthodox calendar. All the birthdays of the saints are written in it.
And if your name is not in the calendar of the Orthodox calendar, then at baptism a name is always chosen for a person that is very close in sound to yours. Let's give some examples:
- Zhanna - Joanna;
- Dina - Evdokia;
- Angelika - Angelina;
- Lily - Leah;
- Milana - Milica;
Also in the church there are traditional other sounds of names. Example: Victoria - Nika, Svetlana - Fotinia, etc.
