And if he’s looking, he’ll probably find it. There are no obstacles for him anywhere - he “breaks through” any wall with his mind. Therefore, by the age of thirty, Vyacheslav had already fully realized his plans. For example, I defended my PhD thesis and am collecting material for my doctoral dissertation. He has a good prestigious job. Perhaps he is now the head of the workshop or the manager. laboratory in some closed research institute.
Everything is fine in his family too - a beautiful, smart, good, educated wife. Vyacheslav is not one of those husbands who shifts all the housework onto the shoulders of their wives. He can cook dinner, clean the room. He also involves children in this work. As a rule, he gives birth to boys, whom Vyacheslav loves very much. By nature, Vyacheslav is kind, charming, temperamental
He will flare up, but immediately apologize, and if he offends you, he will caress you. If something doesn’t work out for him, he gets very irritated, but he still gets the job done. In general, all Vyacheslavs are very good fathers and husbands. They welcome guests with pleasure. Usually the Vyacheslavs do not drink, but among friends they can afford to drink good cognac, wolf or wine, but only in moderation. Don't stoop to alcoholism.
“Winter” Vyacheslavs are stubborn, persistent, they are much stronger than “summer” ones. There are a lot of good athletes among them.
Saint Vyacheslav of Czech, commemoration date: March 17 (Transfer of Relics), October 11
He was raised by his grandmother, the holy princess Lyudmila, who from childhood instilled in her grandson faith in the Lord, trust in His will and the desire to always act according to the commandments that the Savior gave us. He received his education from a student of St. Methodius, Presbyter Paul.
In 920, Vyacheslav’s father, Vratislav, dies, and as an 18-year-old young man, the passion-bearer ascends to the princely throne. His life was darkened by the fact that Dragomir’s own mother hated Christianity; it was she who was responsible for the death of Vyacheslav’s grandmother, Saint Lyudmila. For this he banished Dragomira from his life forever. As a ruler, Vyacheslav the Czech was remembered for the flourishing of Christian foundations. He not only tried to be a Christian himself, but also in government activities, by his decrees, he abolished everything that did not correspond to his beliefs. For example, he refused the death penalty and considered it unacceptable to use torture. Many noble dignitaries were dissatisfied with this state of affairs. The believing prince, living according to the laws of honor and kindness, seemed displeasing to them, and therefore those close to the court entered into a conspiracy with Vyacheslav’s brother Boleslav the First. In 935, the saint was killed by his brother and his guards right on the threshold of the temple. Subsequently, everyone who followed Prince Vyacheslav of Czech, who, like him, led a pious lifestyle, was subjected to cruel torture and torment. Nothing is known about the fate of his son Zbraslav. | Icon of the Holy Blessed Prince Vyacheslav of Czechia |
About work
However, Vyacheslav's short name indicates that he is better off working on one project at a time. Then it will be most effective. He shouldn’t switch to another task, even if the first one needs a long break.
Vyacheslav likes to combine work and leisure, provided that the work does not require much labor. He has a sense of justice. At the same time, he will not zealously defend other people's claims if they turn out to be fair. Most likely, he will begin to observe the development of events. Since Vyacheslav is Slava, he also has a desire for honesty in relationships. He will strive to establish justice in them.

Brief description of the person
Since childhood, he has shown such traits as hard work and patience. Already at this age, he learns to rely only on his own strengths, without asking anyone for help. And he sees obstacles not as a problem, but as a sporting interest, and therefore is not inclined to look for easy ways.
Vyacheslav is a touching and naive child. He really needs parental approval and reassurance, otherwise he will think that he is not loved. If he has poor health, then any sports section will help strengthen him, and this will also help him become a more self-confident and purposeful boy.
For the owner of the name there are no obstacles anywhere - he will always find his way to the goal thanks to his mind. It often happens that by the age of thirty, Slava has already completely brought his own ideas to life. He definitely has a good and elite job, he is probably even the boss.
He will choose a wife who is beautiful and graceful, intelligent and educated. He will never allow his wife to put the burden of domestic problems on her fragile shoulders; the owner of the name can help prepare something, do the cleaning, but most often he will involve children in this work. By the way, he loves them very much.
But Vyacheslav will not tolerate deception and will never trust the deceiver again. Women really like his natural charm, as well as his courtesy. He himself is not capable of betrayal and will not play dirty tricks, but perhaps he will not expose himself if this will harm his personal interests.
Sometimes he can flare up and lose his temper, but he will immediately calm down and caress you, and if he accidentally offends you, he will apologize. He suffers severe irritation if something doesn’t add up or doesn’t work out, but he won’t give up halfway - he will certainly finish what he started. But generally speaking, all Vyacheslavs are good fathers and husbands.
He is quite sociable, has many friends and acquaintances. He loves guests and often invites them to visit. He can afford to drink with friends, but usually does not reach the point of alcoholism. By nature, he is not confrontational and generally treats people well.
Negative traits
Such fighters for justice are more likely than others to suffer from depression. His temper is very disruptive in life, he can show aggression. Even with the slightest injustice. Frequent conflicts on this basis very irritate those around him and it is very difficult to convince him otherwise. Because of this nature, Vyacheslavs very often end up in bad companies, where fights or conflicts often occur and everything ends not very pleasantly. But if he finds himself in such a company, the interesting thing is that even there he is respected for his sense of justice.
Hieromartyr Vyacheslav Lukanin, memorial date: February 8 (New Martyr), August 16
Almost ten centuries later, in the Russian state in the city of Perm, a boy will be born, whom his parents will also name Vyacheslav. He grew up very weak and sickly, and his studies were difficult for him.
Despite this, Vyacheslav Lukanin sought to enter a theological school; serving the Lord was his only desire, which was fulfilled over time. The Lord gifted him with a beautiful voice. This talent did not go unnoticed by the school teachers. Very often the young man served in the choir at the local church, they even began to call him “choir leader,” he did so well. He mastered other sciences with great difficulty, constantly retook exams, and devoted all his free time to church singing. In 1989, after graduating from college, he entered the Perm Seminary. But my health prevented me from getting my diploma.
However, the leadership of the seminary retains him at the educational institution as the regent of the educational choir. In 1901, his talent was appreciated so highly that he was invited to join the bishop's choir. A few years later he met a beautiful girl who became his wife - Maria Gordeevna Galkina. Soon they had a daughter. She will not be the only child in the family; a few years later, Vyacheslav and Maria had 8 more children, three of them died in infancy.
In 1918, he was appointed regent of one of the choirs in the Yekaterinburg diocese. It was here, on the territory of the town of Kataysk, that punitive units “Red Eagles” were created, which were supposed to instantly respond to any commands of the godless authorities. The torture they inflicted on those arrested could perhaps compete in cruelty with the torment of the first Christians. Those detained were buried alive in the ground, quartered, abused in every possible way, humiliating human dignity, and forced to drink their own blood. And this despite the fact that the “employees” of such a detachment were sometimes not even 20 years old.
On the eve of the bright feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, the martyr Vyacheslav and some believers of this town gathered to discuss how best to conduct the festive Liturgy. The meeting was held in the evening in one of the houses, they lit candles, and a small ray became visible from behind the curtains on the side of the street, where at that time there was a curfew and punishers were patrolling the streets. The monsters broke into the house and arrested everyone who was there. In the morning, the believers were taken to the temple and ordered to dig their own graves.
Father Vyacheslav finally asked only to pray in the temple, starting to read the funeral prayer, he slowly walked towards the temple, at that moment the “Krasnoorlovets” shot him in the back.
Deacon Vyacheslav Lukanin was canonized in 2002.
Stories of the Saints
The most famous person with this name is the holy noble prince Vyacheslav of Czech. He is a descendant of the holy martyr Princess Lyudmila, and was brought up with high morality. Following the death of his parent, Prince Vratislav, he took over the principality at the age of 18.
Despite his young age, he was concerned about enlightening his people with the Christian faith. He was very zealous for the Christian faith, and built an excellent church in Prague in honor of St. Vitus. He was also very intelligent and studied Greek and Latin.
The nobles, out of envy, wanted to overthrow him from the throne, and taught him to quarrel with his mother, and then also to enmity with his younger brother. Boreslav invited him to visit him, and when the prince was about to leave, he asked him to stay one more day. Vyacheslav refused to believe in the conspiracy; although they tried to persuade him to leave, he entrusted his own fate to the will of God and stayed.
The next morning, the prince was brutally killed by his own brother along with his servants on the threshold of the church. The mother later found the body that had been left at the scene of the murder and placed her son in the recently consecrated church at court. The blood stains were not washed off the church threshold for 3 days, and then disappeared on their own.
A simple prayer
However, it is not necessary to study prayers; it is enough to speak in your own words. The main thing is that they are dictated by the heart. For example, you can make a request to preserve family relationships with the following words:
“Holy Martyr Vyacheslav, I pray you to grant me (name) wisdom and patience. Help me save my family, bring back love and respect. Guide my husband (name) on the right path. I trust in your intercession. Amen".
It is recommended to pray in silence, in the morning or late in the evening. In order to create the appropriate atmosphere in the room and draw closer to the Lord, you can light a candle. After all, representatives of all religions consider fire a symbol of holiness and cleansing from filth.
