The meaning of the name Oksana in Orthodoxy

The name Oksana appears very often now. However, if you pay attention to the names indicated in the calendar, it will be impossible to find him due to his absence.

It turns out that there is no separate name Oksana. This is what many girls are called now, but in fact it is the Ukrainian colloquial form of the name Ksenia. If you look more closely at the names of the saints, you can see a certain relationship:

• Among male names, the closest would be Auxentius. His second form is Axen. The day of his veneration falls on February 14, old style. Translated as "Increasing". Easily change to Oksen, Oksan to give the female form of Oksana.
• Among female names, the closest would be Ksenia or Aksinya, whose day of veneration falls on January 24, old style. This name means “Guest”, “Wanderer”, “Foreigner”. Sometimes its meaning was given another meaning: “Hospitable.”

Thus, it is necessary to baptize a girl with this name using the full form of the naming, that is, Ksenia. In everyday life it can be called differently, but in prayer it must be given only in full form. Home prayer does not require maintaining the full form: it is enough to call Oksana, but remember at this moment who you are talking about.

She helped the suffering, some with advice, and some with action. Only after her death it became known that she was the daughter of a famous Roman senator, but ran away from her family to devote herself to God.

Character of the birthday girl

An active person who has a lot of energy and at the same time has a desire to apply it somewhere - that’s her. A bright, interesting, active person who is difficult to stop once she has already decided to do something. Extreme situations do not frighten her. She quickly navigates them and easily adapts to changed conditions. In this regard, it is worth limiting Oksana from gambling or her own business. Excessive activity will not withstand the necessary intensity and prudence and pragmatism. Where everything needs to be weighed many times, Oksana will act impulsively, which often leads to collapse.

When choosing a profession, Oksana does not look at the stability of her possible income or its popularity, but at her interests. Work that does not interest her is most often done automatically, leaving the girl dissatisfied and upset.

Due to her character traits, she considers the most interesting work to be a rescuer or a police officer. If no one stops the girl from making an impulsive decision, then soon a new active and reliable team member will appear in their ranks.

Character at different periods of life

Oksana always maintains her independence of character. This trait manifests itself most fully in adulthood. The stubbornness that arises in early youth eventually turns into perseverance, confidence and determination.

In childhood

Little Ksyusha is a calm and reasonable girl. She rarely participates in noisy pranks, preferring educational entertainment: cartoons, books, master classes on various activities.

Parents find her quite easy - she is capable, friendly and obedient (except for rare cases of stubbornness).

In youth

Thanks to her curiosity and hard work, teenager Ksenya is doing well at school. However, if the subject seems boring to her, she can simply give up on it. Because of such unstable liking for lessons, Ksyusha rarely becomes an excellent student. However, for the most part, she is a calm and prudent girl, little subject to the “difficult age”.

In her youth, a passion for adventure awakens in her, which, together with stubbornness, makes a rather explosive cocktail. So, if she wants a tattoo “for fun,” it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to dissuade her.

Usually, such desires for her are experiments (she consciously makes a temporary tattoo, and leaves Thai boxing at the level of a hobby, without trying to plunge headlong into fighting sports).

As an adult

Adult Oksana has a strong and decisive character (sometimes called masculine). Sometimes he makes an interesting contrast with his beautiful appearance and cheerful, flirtatious nature. But no matter how a girl looks outwardly, she is always distinguished by her determination and independent mind.

A girl can rarely be convinced in serious matters. She may agree for the sake of appearances in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, but she will reserve the right to think and act as she sees fit.

In important matters, Oksana shows amazing perseverance, hard work and patience. However, without the motivation to do anything, she will not even try.

This is a man of action. She either puts all her soul and effort into it, or doesn’t start work at all. In any area of ​​life, he is guided not by established rules, but by inner instinct and his own moral values.

The mystery of the name

The secret of a name can be considered a character trait that does not allow one to admit one’s own mistakes. When the situation gets worse, she will not check what she screwed up, but will immediately rush to look for the culprits around. Sometimes this can reach the point of outright nonsense. When communicating with her, you need to feel the line and know when to wash your hands, otherwise all the blame will fall on you.

There is a second secret. No matter how rich the inner world of girls with that name is, they do not allow anyone into it. Even loved ones. You shouldn’t pry out her secrets; you won’t succeed anyway.

Saint named Ksenia - her fate in history

Blessed Ksenia had a hard time with the death of her husband, who died suddenly without repentance or dying confession. She began to seem crazy, praying for the Almighty to pardon her husband. Her Orthodox feat consisted of foolishness. She abandoned reason, feminine attractiveness, wealth, all earthly goods, and even herself.

Ksenia took her husband's name and dressed in his clothes. She bore her heavy cross for the sake of saving her neighbor, transferring all her property to the beggar, money to the rector of the church, and transferred the house to the name of Antonova Parasi, who rented a room from her.

Blessed Ksenia walked calmly along the crowded streets of St. Petersburg. The townspeople considered her a crazy beggar, humiliating her and shunning her. And the teenagers mocked and joked about the holy fool. At night, Ksenia went outside the city to a clearing, where she prayed incessantly and resignedly.

At this time, a stone church was built at the Smolensk cemetery. Masons began to notice that they had an invisible assistant who at night placed heavy bricks on the upper floors of the scaffolding, significantly speeding up and facilitating construction. Later it turned out that the assistant was the holy fool Ksenia.

Over time, people began to see in blessed Xenia not just a distraught beggar, but a seer. Ordinary people noticed that if Ksenia takes something from someone, that person receives grace and joy.

When the holy fool began to be revered as a healer and clairvoyant, those who needed salvation from illness, grief and mental anguish rushed to her. The blessed one helped everyone, carrying out her feat for forty-five years. From light, worn-out clothes and shoes, her feet were swollen, and her hands and face were covered with severe scabs. Despite this, people dreamed that Ksenia would touch them.

After the death of Ksenia, the blessed one was buried in the Smolensk cemetery. Her name was added to the list of saints. To this day, people believe in the miraculous power of the icon of Xenia of St. Petersburg, praying for her appearance in Christian churches.

Origin

One should not be surprised at such different meanings: being at the intersection of trade routes, the Greeks not only were not a closed culture, but, as Apostle Luke , they “didn’t spend their time doing anything better than talking or listening to something new.” "(Acts 17:21). After all, foreigners appeared here often, many even stayed to live.

Xenios is one of the names of Zeus

For this reason, the supreme god of the Greeks also had the nickname “Xenios,” that is, the patron saint of foreigners. In addition, “Xenia” was called:

• the very hospitality shown to foreigners; it had a distinctly religious character - after all, the guest was considered to be under the protection of Zeus;
• gifts for guests; if a person stayed in a house for some time, the owner would certainly present him with such modest gifts - a sign of his favor;
• images of these gifts - frescoes, a kind of still life, have been preserved;
• in addition, the Romans called table poems or short epigrams this way - for example, similar works are known from the poet Valery Martial.

Subsequently, during the Middle Ages, the genre of table “xenias” also spread throughout Western Europe - like the ancient name, especially since it was borne by some famous saints.

Icon of Saint Xenia

The icon depicting Blessed Xenia (of St. Petersburg) is recognizable among many. She is depicted full-length in a green jacket and a red skirt, sometimes vice versa. The combination of these colors symbolizes the military uniform that her husband wore during his lifetime.

The hand rests on the stick, which rests on the ground. On all icons, Xenia’s head is covered with a white scarf. The background of the icon is St. Petersburg landscapes or buildings, most often churches and temples.

Name days and baptism

It has become a very long-standing Orthodox tradition to choose a name for a child according to the Orthodox calendar (saints), which contains the name of a saint who becomes his guardian angel in life. Considering the topic of “Ksenia’s Name Day”, let’s dwell on one more very important aspect.

It is best to choose a name for your child on the day he is born. However, here are some tips for parents. First: on the day the child was born, you need to go to church and order special divine services so that his birth is sanctified by prayer to God and all the saints. Second: on the eighth day, they bring the baby himself to the temple to again perform special prayers and choose the name of his patron saint. And third: on the fortieth day, the baby is also brought to church so that the priest can perform the ritual of Churching. Only now, after such preparation, the child is ready for baptism.
