Name day October 19: male and female names according to the church calendar

Martyr Hira and Righteous Gideon

Here are two more unusual names that you can call a child born on this day. Thus, the martyr Hira firmly professed Christianity and accepted martyrdom for his faith.

Righteous Gideon was a judge. God chose him to save Israel from the Midianites and Amalekites. Righteous Gideon gathered a huge army, but the Lord ordered them to be sent and only 300 people left. He did just that. With the remaining warriors at night they attacked the enemies. They broke empty jugs and blew trumpets. The enemy was so frightened by the noise that he began to run. Having liberated the territory, Gideon executed several Midian princes. The people were so grateful to him that they wanted to make him king. He resigned this position and became a judge.

Characteristics of girls named Anna

There have been plenty of saints and martyrs named Anna in Christian history. The name Anna is still very common today. This name has Hebrew roots, but has firmly taken root in Rus'. Translated, it means “the grace of God.” Girls with this name are uncompromising and fair. They are distinguished by restraint and devotion. Anna treats her loved ones with great care and takes great care of her children.

These girls are very kind, they try to take care of animals and help their elders. They are always neat and tidy. Anna does not always know how to stand up for herself, so she often encounters boorish behavior. Anna makes a very faithful and devoted wife.

Appeal to the Saints

We have already found out that only men celebrate their angel day on this day. Women's name days are not celebrated on October 9, and a nearby date is chosen. In fact, a patron saint can give a person very strong protection. However, this requires asking for help correctly. You should not confuse your guardian angel and your saint, in whose honor you are named. These are completely different things. In order to turn to your saint, there is a very simple prayer: “Holy saint (name), I diligently run to you and ask you to pray to the Lord God for me. Amen"

In addition, celebrating a name day and a birthday are also completely different things. On your angel day, you must definitely go to church and light a candle to your saint for the health of you and your family. Thank him from the bottom of your heart for always being there, protecting and protecting you. In the end, of course, ask him for what you want.

Apostle John the Theologian

As mentioned earlier, on October 9, all Ivans celebrate their name day. This is due to the fact that on this day the memory of the evangelist and apostle John the Theologian is honored. He devoted his entire life to the service of love. John the Theologian was one of the Twelve Apostles. He is the author of three epistles included in the New Testament, the Gospel and the Book of Revelation. The holy apostle was very devoted to Jesus Christ and, as a rule, was always nearby, near him. It is interesting that he was the youngest of all the students, but at the same time quite smart and lively. On the Last Supper icon he is depicted next to Jesus. Because he was very young, many artists depict him with effeminate features.

The Savior always trusted John and told him all the secrets about the Kingdom of Heaven. And he, during the suffering of his Teacher, did not leave him. Only John and a few women followed him all the way to Golgotha. The Most Holy Theotokos became a mother for him, and he took care of her until the end of her days.

Even after the death of his Teacher, John the Theologian preached Christianity, performed miracles and healed sick people. He constantly repeated “God is Love!” In addition, according to some sources, there are 4 known cases when John the Theologian resurrected a person. Many people saw all this, and they joyfully accepted Christianity. Until his last days, the apostle preached and sang praises to his teacher, Jesus Christ. In addition, some sources claim that during his lifetime they tried to kill John more than once. They poured poison into him, cooked him in boiling oil, and sent him into exile, but his unceasing prayer saved him from all misfortunes.

Character of a girl born under the sign of Libra

Libra (September 24 – October 23)

Libra children are the most obedient children of all zodiac signs. Parents should teach their child to say “no,” as he often adapts to circumstances and people, forgetting about his desires. It is this quality that needs to be developed, since in the future he will not be able to take his rightful place in the sun due to his inability to say “no”.

Libra girls have a very light and cheerful character, their mood is almost always joyful and upbeat, so other children are happy to be friends with them. Even if your child is offended or upset, he will very quickly forget all the bad things and, in less than half an hour, he will be playing and having fun again, as if nothing bad had happened.

Libra girls begin to help their parents with housework early, and are happy to do this of their own free will. They especially love to do general cleaning. The fact is that Libra loves order very much, including in things, so they react very sharply to any disorder and immediately try to eliminate it. As a rule, the Libra girl always cleans up scattered toys after herself, and when she goes to school, there is always perfect order on her study table - all notebooks and books are in their place.

Libra children have a developed sense of beauty and are endowed with excellent taste. This is especially true for Libra girls, who from a very early age love to preen themselves in front of the mirror and dress up in clothes with frills, frills and bows. If a Libra girl doesn’t like the dress she was dressed in, she may become very upset and even cry.

The Libra girl is usually beautiful and fair. Like Libra boys, she instinctively grasps the duality of any problem and therefore at times shows indecisiveness. And this applies not only to important issues, but also to trifles. For example, your Libra daughter may doubt for a long time what is better to do: go play with a friend on the street or go shopping with you.

Founder of temples in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord

According to the old style, on September 26 the memory of St. Ephraim of Perekom is venerated. And for this reason, on October 9, the name day according to the church calendar can also be celebrated by those who bear the proud and rather rare name Ephraim. Even in his youth, he left his parents' house to settle in the Kalyazin monastery. A few years later, in a dream, the monk Ephraim received a revelation from the Lord that he needed to retire to a deserted place. Of course he did just that. A few more years later, he founded a temple in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord. To carry water there, he dug a fairly long channel. Since then, the temple began to be called Perekopsky.
