Blessed Taisia of Egypt, commemoration date: May 23

She lived in the 5th century in Egypt. After the death of her wealthy parents, she was left an orphan and led a pious lifestyle. Her house was always open to wanderers and those in need; monks who came from the desert found shelter in it to sell baskets made with their own hands in the city.

Saint Taisia distributed a lot of money to the poor, and therefore, after several years of her charitable activities, her property decreased noticeably, to such an extent that she herself began to be in need. During this period, Saint Taisia met people of not very pious life and came under their influence.

When the monks from the desert monastery, who had previously visited the house of Saint Taisia, learned about this, they were very upset by this circumstance. Then they appealed to Abba John Kolov and asked to visit their sister in Christ Taisia, who had done them so much good.

Abba John responded positively to this request and went to Saint Taisia. When he saw her, Abba sat down next to her, looked into her eyes for a very long time, and then bowed his head and began to cry.

Blessed Taisiya asked why he was crying. To which Abba John replied that the reason for this was the satanic games that were reflected on her face. He asked her why she rejected Jesus Christ, were His works really disgusting to her?

Then, as if a veil had fallen from Taisiya’s eyes, she began to ask the elder about repentance, if it exists for her, then she is ready for anything. After this, Saint Taisia set off after Abba John. When it was already dark, the elder made a flooring for Taisiya from sand, and a little further for himself. When he woke up in the morning, he found Saint Taisia lifeless. Abba John began to grieve that Taisia’s soul perished without having time in earthly life to repent, take communion and become a nun.

At the same moment, as he thought, the elder heard a Voice, which announced that Taisiya, even for an hour of deep repentance, had been forgiven.

Priorities are everything

From an early age, Thea is sweet and easy to talk to; she can be described as a calm and kind girl. The little owner of this name gets along well with her parents and grandparents. She helps her mother with the housework, but in order for the learning of household wisdom to be more successful, the mother needs to try and put household chores for her daughter in a playful and educational form - after all, Thea is drawn to everything new and interesting.

The baby gets along very well with other children, knows how to find a common language with her peers, and this quality of hers contributes to the fact that she has many friends among both boys and girls. She herself will always gladly help her friends and will not refuse their help when she needs it. Thea does not like arguments, conflicts and quarrels and always tries to reconcile those in conflict.

The unusual name rewards its owner with enviable leadership qualities. At the same time, she will not try to suppress the will of another person, but, on the contrary, will help not only a friend, but also an acquaintance to get out of a difficult situation.

The bearer of the name Thea knows how to keep other people's secrets, and her peers are not afraid to share their deepest secrets and dreams with her. At the same time, the girl intuitively senses hypocrisy in the behavior of others and tries to avoid communication with such people. She always keeps her promises.

Growing up, Thea remains as sweet, bright and light as she was in childhood. But this ease does not prevent her from persistently moving towards her goal. The realization of the abilities inherent in nature is one of the main goals towards which a girl’s spiritual aspirations are directed.

The problem may lie in the fact that nature usually gifts Thea with a wide variety of talents, and she does not always know how to choose a priority direction for herself. It is very good if, in childhood, parents helped the girl figure out what was most important to her in the first place. If not, then in adolescence she will have to make a difficult choice herself and fully understand its significance for her own life.

Taisiya's name day in the Orthodox Church

The very bright and beautiful ancient Greek name Taisia means “wise”, “fertile”, “late”, “belonging to the goddess Isis”. Orthodox Christians celebrate Taisia’s name day several times a year, since more than one saint bore this name. Of these, only three are known: Taisia the Martyr, Taisia the Egyptian (5th century) and the Venerable Taisia the Egyptian of Thebaid (6th century). When studying when Taisiya celebrates name days, one should carefully consider the history of these saints. After all, it was faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and sincere repentance for their sins that saved them from the flames of hell.

Taisiya: Orthodox name days

But the life of Saint Taisia of Egypt is known in every detail. She lived in the 5th century in Ancient Egypt. When her wealthy parents died, she began to lead a pious life and devoted herself entirely to charity and helping the sick and infirm.

Monks who came from deserts to cities to sell their baskets often stayed in her house. Taisiya was loved and revered, she enjoyed great respect among people. But after all her diligent charity work, her financial fortune gradually depleted. And she, too, was overtaken by need. At this time, people of bad behavior appear around Taisiya, and she begins to lead a disorderly life.

Taisiya Egyptian

One day, monks who had previously stayed with Taisiya came from a desert monastery. Seeing her unhappy and sinful, they were greatly saddened, because she always showed them her love. Calling their Abba, whose name was John Kolov, they asked him to help Taisia. He immediately went to her and, sitting next to her, looked intently into her eyes and began to cry. She became worried and asked why he was crying. He answered that he saw Satan playing on her face, and began to cry tearfully about why she didn’t like Jesus, why she took the path contrary to the Lord. The girl was imbued with such accusatory words and trembled about whether she could repent. The elder replied that there was, and forced her to follow him. Abba John was very surprised that Taisiya immediately went after him, all in tears. She did not say goodbye to anyone and did not even give any orders about her property.

Peaceful demise

When they reached the desert, they had no choice but to spend the night in the sand. Having made a head of sand for her, first baptizing her, he put her to sleep, and he also lay down at some distance from her, having prayed before that. In the morning, when he got up, he found Taisiya dead. He was very frightened by the fact that she died without repenting, without receiving communion and without becoming a nun, as he wanted.

And then suddenly he heard the voice of God, who said that the hour of her repentance was more important than the long-term repentance of others who do not do it so selflessly. In this amazing way, the Lord gave John an answer to his question about forgiveness of sins for Taisia, who received it for her sincerity and determination in repentance.

Now the Orthodox also honor her name day. According to the church calendar, Taisiya celebrates her day on May 23. However, that's not all. In fact, there was another saint who bore this name, and in some aspects their fates were very similar.

Benefits of education

And Thea’s range of interests can be very wide - from art and foreign languages to science and technology. But even if a girl chooses, for example, the work of a translator as her main direction, her natural artistry and charm will help her better perform her main job duties. The main thing is not to overplay.

Professional implementation in the field of art (music, painting, photography, acting) will help to throw out the huge emotional charge that Thea possesses, as well as draw fresh impressions from her creative activities that she so needs for good well-being. If a girl’s natural inclinations for natural sciences and technical disciplines prevail, then most likely this means that, thanks to her leadership and diplomatic qualities, she will reach leadership positions.

Whatever field Thea chooses for herself, her professional growth will be helped by the desire to learn and constantly improve her level of knowledge and skills. However, the owner of this beautiful and meaningful name is by no means a perfectionist; she will not give in to large-scale goals for fear that the result will not be ideal enough. The ability to make business connections in any field of activity, to provide and accept help, makes Thea an indispensable employee and a valuable leader.

Professional interpreters of names say that it is very important for Thea to receive a good education and constantly engage in self-education. Otherwise, emotionality and impulsiveness may take precedence over natural diplomacy and do Thea a disservice. But training and self-education very well balance a woman’s character, making her extremely attractive to members of the opposite sex who have a high social status.

Thea herself is not averse to flirting, but the girl is in no hurry to tie herself with Hymen. The feeling of one’s own freedom is very valuable for the owner of the name, and the fear of losing it is too high. Thea’s happy husband can be the man who can provide her with a vibrant life in marriage, rich in a variety of events and impressions.

As for the dates when Thea can celebrate her name day, there are two of them a year: February 23 and July 18. In accordance with accepted transliteration rules, Teya will be listed as Teya in the international passport. Author: Olga Inozemtseva

Great Forgiveness

When three years had passed, Saint Paphnutius came to Anthony the Great to ask whether the Lord had forgiven Taisia. Then Anthony ordered all his monastic disciples to pray that the Lord Himself would give them an answer. After a while, Paul the Simple had a vision of three virgins of extraordinary beauty guarding a heavenly bed. Paul was delighted, he thought that this bed was intended for Father Anthony, but a voice from heaven told him that it was for the harlot Taisia. Thus, Paphnutius, having learned the will of God, went to Taisia’s cell to take her out and say that the Lord had forgiven her her sins. Two weeks later, illness overtook her, and three days later Saint Taisia peacefully departed to the Lord. Her name day is now celebrated on October 21.

The Taisis, in deep repentance, received mercy and forgiveness from the Lord. Thus, Taisiya’s name day is celebrated three times a year, as mentioned above: April 4, May 23 and October 21.
