Galina - name meaning, origin, characteristics, horoscope

Spring Galina

too emotional and temperamental. With her irrepressible energy she is able to fill the entire surrounding space, often without noticing that there is too much of it. Excessive importunity and excessive talkativeness can serve her badly. Spring Galina simply needs a calm and reasonable man who can cope with her explosive character, with the typhoon of emotions that absorb Galya like an abyss.

Summer Galina

mobile, impulsive and open to communication, to new emotions and knowledge. It can be compared to a perpetual motion machine that cannot spend a second at rest. And this greatly bothers her, because sometimes it is useful to stop, calm down and think not only about the coming day, but also about the past day, in order to “work on mistakes” in the future. A man with an active life position who will not infringe on the interests of his freedom-loving chosen one will get along with summer Galina.

Autumn Galina

– a sociable, sincere and impatient nature. She wants to have everything at once, and when she doesn’t succeed, she begins to panic and get angry. She lacks self-confidence and composure, which can negatively affect not only the autumn Galina’s career, but also her personal life. A calm, patient and wise man who will sincerely love his chosen lighter will be able to create a strong union with this impulsive person.

Stone - talisman

Garnet, jasper and jade are Galina’s talisman stones.

Pomegranate

In the East they believed that pomegranate was capable of awakening unbridled passion in a person.

In China, this stone personified fun and protected its owner from betrayal, damage and bad dreams.

In Ancient Egypt, pomegranate symbolized fertility, and in India - love, tenderness, friendship and devotion.

But only those stones that were obtained honestly (bought, received as a gift) have positive properties, while a stolen garnet will only bring trouble, especially if it is owned by a lazy and hypocritical person.

Pomegranate gives a person energy, increases vitality and gives strength.

Christians revere the pomegranate as the stone of Christ's sacrifice. In addition, the only lamp on Noah's ark was made from pomegranate.

The Mongols believed that this stone increases strength and gives fearlessness to those who wear it.

Jasper helps cleanse negative energy.

In the East, this stone symbolizes power, wealth, beauty and at the same time modesty. In Japan, jasper represents generosity and nobility.

Nephritis

It is a symbol of power, strength, energy, longevity and perfection. It was believed that jade enhances such virtues in a person as humanity, justice, honesty, sincerity and wisdom.

It is believed that the darkening of the stone is a harbinger of misfortune and evidence of the sinful life of its owner. In general, jade (namely the purity and color of the stone) is considered a kind of indicator of a person’s spirituality.

The legend about the name Galina

The martyr Galina of Corinth was born in the city of Corinth into a pagan family. But a meeting with Elder Kodrat, who told her about Christian teaching and his difficult but righteous path, changed her life.

At the time when Galina converted to Christianity, Emperor Dacia II ruled, who ordered the capture of Elder Codratus, as well as his followers, among whom was Galina. With the help of torture and torment, the pagan emperor wanted to force Christians to turn away from their intended path and abandon Christ, but nothing could break their faith: neither severe beatings nor public torture. The martyrs, without a shadow of a doubt, bowed their knees before the sword of the executioner, who, without hesitation, cut off the heads of some of the martyrs, while the rest were drowned in the sea.

Despite the fact that Galina had the opportunity to avoid the death penalty, she did not go for it, but accepted martyrdom, like all her comrades.
