Characteristics of the name Natalya
Natalya is an intelligent woman with natural ingenuity and cunning. He knows how to find a way out of any situation, often using very unusual methods. Determined, cheerful, at the same time feminine and lyrical. She chooses her husband for herself - her chosen one will not even notice how he turns out to be married. However, he is happy - he is interested in Natasha, he feels like the head of the house (although in reality this is far from the case)
Natalya always emphasizes his importance in the family as an intelligent, fair and kind husband and father. She gives birth to both girls and boys. There are usually two or three children in a family. Some Natalias are married 2-3 times. No, not because of divorces - her husbands may die tragically (catastrophes) or die as a result of serious illnesses.

What do they pray for?
Traditionally, those who have recently entered into a marriage or have been living a family life for a long time turn to saints with requests for help in arranging their family and peace in the home. The reason for this is obvious: the martyrs themselves were a truly loving couple, and also true Christians who proved their faithfulness to the Lord.
In addition, to St. Widows often turn to Natalia, especially those who lost their husbands early. Having herself experienced the death of a loved one, she, like no one else, helps and spiritually supports.
When is Natalia's name day in 2022?
If you are invited to Natalia’s name day, then congratulations and gifts should be addressed only to her. Such a woman highly values herself and attention to her person from the outside.
The owner of the name is distinguished by a strong, strong-willed character and healthy pragmatism. But behind a steel mask she can hide her spiritual softness, even some self-doubt.
For Natasha, the support and approval of others is very important, but she takes criticism painfully. If praise becomes an incentive for further achievements, harsh remarks make you give up.
The energy of the name gives such a woman a cheerful, kind disposition, activity and determination. Natasha is not one of those who give up in the face of difficulties; she has decent answers to all questions.
The power of will and faith that works miracles
Everyone celebrates Natasha’s name day every year, and therefore in 2022, on September 8th.
It is this date, according to the Orthodox Church rite, that honors the memory of Saint Natalia of Nicomedia, who lived in the 4th century and suffered torment in the name of Christianity.
She was born in one of the cities on the coast of the Sea of Marmara into a noble family that preached Christianity. When she married a pagan, she converted him to her faith.
Subsequently, her husband also suffered a lot for his teaching and was canonized as a Saint; now, according to the Saints, we also find his name - Adrian of Nicodom.
According to the church calendar, Natalia’s name day will be celebrated five times in 2022, while Angel’s Day will be celebrated only once. Only a few representatives of the fair sex who were on the list of saints and martyrs bore this name.
Character traits
Natalia's character is quite complex. At first glance, she is modest and affectionate, but she can be stubborn and persistent. Sometimes they say about such people: “quiet, quiet, and don’t put your finger in your mouth.” Perhaps this is the secret of the name. The heightened sense of justice inherent in the girl encourages her to protect others, sincerely sympathize and support. This woman loves to receive guests and have fun with friends and acquaintances. She strives to please others, loves compliments and often becomes the life of the party.
The most prominent negative character trait is pride, but perhaps it is this quality that makes her work hard, set goals and achieve them. Natalya loves praise and is ready to redouble her efforts in her work for the sake of it, but she has a negative attitude towards criticism addressed to her. She is easily offended, and she can remember this for many years. But her self-esteem will not allow her to commit any vile act.
Natalia, who was born in the spring, can be a creative person with developed intuition. Born in autumn or winter, she is distinguished by a sharp and practical mind, diligence and responsibility in her work. Summer is a romantic and vulnerable person who seeks harmony with the world around her.
Characteristics of the name
Church name - Natalya. From the Latin Natalis Domini, meaning "birth", "Christmas", "Christmas", "native". The secret of the name is pride, its engine.
She tries to be the first in everything she does; if that doesn’t work out, then at least not the last. In the professional sphere, he strives to become a deputy chief. In the family, she is the only and best wife.
Where are the relics located?
At first they stayed in the town of Byzantium. According to the life, Natalia managed to save both the honest remains of her husband and all his fellow sufferers from desecration and send here. Later she herself moved to Byzantium, where she reposed in the Lord and was buried with Adrian.
Relics of St. Natalia in the chapel of St. Ippolita, Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, Milan.
In the 7th century the relics of the saints were transferred from Constantinople to Rome, where a temple was built for them. During the reign of the fascist regime in Italy, around 1930, it was demolished. Since then, the relics at the Basilica of St. Lawrence ("San Lorenzo") of the city of Milan.
Here is how one of the modern pilgrims writes about them:
“The treasure of the ancient Basilica of San Lorenzo, which is especially dear to the hearts of Russian women, is hidden in one of the chapels behind the altar, the most modest and inconspicuous. If you don’t know in advance, you will never think that the new altar contains the relics of the holy martyr Natalia... Chapel with the relics of St. Natalia is located behind the right arch... The chapel is opened not only during prayer services, but also at individual request.”
The saint, extremely modest during her earthly life, remains so now.
