Meaning of the name

Eva is a purposeful, active, quite tough, but at the same time a sensual and temperamental person who lacks softness and sensitivity. Her strong-willed character, which is characterized by such qualities as perseverance, poise and restraint, is complemented by a rare ability for women to control themselves and their emotions in any situation. The owner of this name is independent and has her own authoritative point of view on everything.

Characteristics of the name Eva

winter eve has a contradictory and quarrelsome character. She has no authority, but she herself will be happy to command at the first opportunity. This narcissistic woman revels in her power, sometimes forgetting about such qualities as kindness and responsiveness. When the winter Eve realizes her mistake, it is too late to correct her. It is not surprising that she has practically no friends, although she tries to do everything so that others believe in her sincerity.

Spring Eve - an intellectual, for whom art and science can not only replace communication with friends, but also become an obstacle on the way to establishing a personal life. In fairness, we note that she is incredibly charming and interesting, but men are afraid of her mind, and women do not want to seem stupid against the background of spring Eve. However, this situation does not upset Eva, especially since in her environment there will always be those with whom she can talk about everything in the world.

Summer Eve - a gentle, attentive, good-natured and caring person who tries to create an atmosphere of love and happiness around him. A smile does not leave her face, she is ready to give the last to those in need, she will always listen and help in any way she can. But those around her often take advantage of her kindness, which greatly hurts the disinterested summer Eve, who should temper her character (a little toughness in relations with people has not hurt anyone yet).

autumn eve - a calm, balanced and patient woman, accustomed to being guided primarily by the interests of other people when solving a particular issue. But this woman often forgets about herself, completely dissolving in the problems and concerns of others. Autumn Eve is easy to offend, but she does not know how to be angry for a long time, and therefore she is the first to reconcile, even if she is not the instigator of the conflict.

The legend of the name Eva

The most famous owner of the name Eve is the first woman on earth, created by God from Adam's rib in order to brighten up the latter's stay in paradise.

Adam and Eve lived in happiness and grace, but they disobeyed the Lord, who forbade picking and eating fruits from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which grew far from other trees. But seduced by beautiful apples, Eve could not resist the temptation to taste the forbidden fruit, but the snake-tempter pushed her to this decision. Not only that, Eve shared an apple with Adam.

Having barely tasted the ruddy apple, Adam and Eve saw that they were completely naked, and they were ashamed of their naked body, and therefore did not dare to show themselves to God, who called them, having learned about the sin committed. As punishment for their disobedience, Adam and Eve were banished from paradise forever. In addition, from now on, all people on earth have become mortal, while Eve (and, consequently, all women) was destined for the birth of children in agony, and Adam - the extraction of daily bread through hard work.

But before leaving paradise, God ordered Adam to give names to all things: then the first man on earth called his wife Eve.

The exiles came out of paradise in leather clothes (in this way God took care of his children who turned off the true path, because there was no eternal summer outside of paradise).

Until recently in Orthodox saints there was no name Eva, but in 2000 the Russian Church canonized Mother Superior Eva, the abbess of the Penza Monastery, who was shot in 1937. In the world, this woman was called Akilina Vasilisa Pavlovna.

Vasilisa was born into a peasant family on July 10, 1879, in the village of Issa, Penza province. When and under what circumstances she took the tonsure, the historian does not know, the only reliable fact is that until 1920 she served as a simple abbess in the Penza monastery. Then the monastery was closed, and Eva was arrested for "anti-revolutionary activities" and sentenced to 8 years in exile. Abbess Eva was shot in 1937 and buried in a mass grave.

Memorial Day of Saint Eve - 27 August. According to the Catholic calendar, Eva can celebrate name days on January 5, March 11, June 2, December 24 and 31.

Name characteristic

The main character traits of a woman named Eve are stubbornness and determination (which can be confirmed even in the Bible), as well as strict adherence to personal rules and beliefs. All Eve have an enviable willpower, the ability to manipulate people, restraint and balance.

In the behavior of Eve, there is some coldness, prudence and efficiency. She does not like to seem weak and vulnerable, she hides her sensuality behind a mask of indifference, and sometimes arrogance. This is a highly moral person, equally demanding of himself and others. Unlike her progenitor, a woman named Eve very rarely enters into dubious adventures, and breaks the law even less often.

Being a closed person, Eve focuses all aspirations and desires on her own personality. When making decisions, she tends to choose what will contribute to her own growth and improvement - such a choice can increase the distance between her and the world around her every day. Over time, this "shell" can become thicker and more difficult to get out of it. Neither intellect nor theoretical knowledge can replace the skill of spiritual communication, "interpenetration", without which full life will be bland and uninteresting.

Eve is naturally gifted with high intelligence and intuition, she prefers to trust facts and logic, rather than guesswork and other people's words. By nature, she is a fighter and leader, difficulties only harden her. A woman does not know how to adapt to circumstances at all, she often provokes conflicts herself. But such qualities as envy, deceit and malice are not at all inherent in a strong and strong-willed Eve, on the contrary, she strives for mutual understanding, but she does not always succeed.

In general, Eva is a self-sufficient and self-confident person, carefully hiding her vulnerability and kind heart. Energy bubbles out of her, she spares no effort at all and gives all her best: it concerns a family or a career.

Childhood

Little Eva is a cheerful, energetic, inquisitive child, distinguished by stubbornness from infancy. She gets used to listening only to herself, someone else's opinion means nothing to her. A girl can be influenced only through dialogue and logical arguments, while screaming and assertiveness will lead to the opposite result.

Eva studies easily, usually gets along well with her classmates. She will definitely never be a "gray mouse" among her peers, rather the opposite - a leader and ringleader. It will be good if the parents are able to direct the girl's overflowing energy into sports or creativity - then there will be much less trouble with her, especially in adolescence.

Health

Eva is a hardy and active person with good health. But she loves to indulge her whims, so the love of tasty and unhealthy food can provoke digestive problems, as well as lead to weight gain.

Secrecy, constant suppression of one's emotions provokes such diseases as neurasthenia, depression, and neuralgia. Eve should learn to give vent to her emotions, learn to relax - for example, play sports or other activities that she enjoys.

Sexuality

Eva has an amazing sensuality, but, being a highly moral person, she tries in every possible way to suppress it in herself. The most important joy for this woman is the joy of giving, but she is rather picky in choosing a partner.

Eva appreciates delicacy, intelligence, sensitivity in men, does not accept rudeness and vulgarity. In caresses, she is inventive and inexhaustible, always ready for experiments. There are usually always a lot of men around Eve, and she does not lack partners. Sexual desire retains until old age, with age it only intensifies.

Marriage and family, compatibility

The family occupies an important place in Eva's life; for her, it is much more important than her career aspirations. Early marriage is uncharacteristic for a woman; she approaches the choice of a life partner consciously. However, Eve's first marriage usually fails, and only in the second does she find happiness.

In the family, Eva will try to take a leadership position, perhaps she will attempt to remake her husband to fit her ideals, which, most likely, will end in failure. Relations with the mother-in-law will be difficult, however, as with most relatives. But Eva jealously guards the interests of the family, and will not allow anyone to interfere, even her parents.

Eva is very jealous and suspicious, sometimes unreasonably, which can also complicate family relationships. But she will turn out to be a wonderful hostess, children will be brought up in love and severity.

The strongest relationships can develop with men named Eugene, Alexei, Maxim, Vitaly, Konstantin, Boris, Dmitry, Yegor and Nikolai. Relations with Anton, Arthur, Vladislav, George, Oleg, Stanislav and Sergey should be avoided.

Business and career

Eve is suitable for professions that require complete dedication, otherwise she gets bored. A woman is not used to working at half strength, so she can show herself on the positive side in any profession. But the work of a health worker, teacher, educator suits her best. Eva loves to travel and is easy-going, so she will enjoy the profession associated with frequent business trips.

Good organizational skills and a sense of responsibility make Eva an excellent leader, she will certainly enjoy authority among her subordinates. In business, Eva is incredibly lucky, luck very rarely turns its back on her. Moreover, a woman knows how to count money perfectly, and dubious adventures in the form of quick money do not appeal to her.

And Seth, the first people born outside the Garden of Eden. Seduced by the serpent, she gave her husband Adam a taste of the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which in Christian mythology caused the fall of the first people.

Creation of man

God created the first people, Adam and Eve, in his own image and likeness. It was assumed that the ancestors of mankind would rule over everything that is on the living earth. God first made Adam “out of the dust of the ground” and breathed life into him through his nostrils. Then God put Adam to sleep and took a rib from him, and from this material created Eve, the first woman.

Eve became Adam's wife. Both lived in the Garden of Eden, walked "naked and not ashamed." The "canonical" story of Adam and Eve is found in the book of Genesis. However, there are apocrypha, according to which Eve is not the second person created after Adam, but the third, because the second was Lilith, the first "unsuccessful" wife of Adam, whom God created before Eve. This is described in the book Zohar.

Lilith can be called the first feminist in mythological history to vote in favor of equal rights for men and women. Lilith refused to obey Adam, declaring that God created a woman equal to him. Lilith flew away from Adam, saying the secret name of God, and Adam went to God to complain.

Three angels were sent after the fugitive, who overtook Lilith at the Red Sea. The woman refused to return to her husband and was punished. Lilith turned into an evil demon who kills babies, and according to Kabbalah, into a devil who comes to young bachelors in a dream and seduces them.

Eve, created from a rib, no longer considered herself equal to her husband, but she also brought him trouble.

Original sin

When creating the Garden of Eden, God "included in the project" two special trees - the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life. The fruits from the second bestowed eternal life, and the Lord forbade tasting the fruits from the first. The punishment for those who transgress the ban will be death. The rest of the flora in Eden was at the full disposal of Adam and Eve.

At first, people observed the Lord's prohibition, until a serpent turned to Eve, who was "smarter than all the animals of the field." The serpent began to persuade Eve to taste the forbidden fruit. At first, Eve refused to obey the serpent and said that God forbade approaching that tree and tasting the fruits from it under the threat of death.

The serpent convinced Eve that they were not in danger of death, on the contrary, having eaten the fruit, people themselves would become like gods. Fascinated by the speeches of the devilish reptile, Eve tasted the fruit, which in popular culture is considered to be an apple. In fact, the type of fruit in the Bible is not specified, and at the expense of what exactly Eve ate, there is different opinions- from a fig or fig in the version of the Jews to a peach in the version of the Armenians.

Having tasted the fruit, Eve fed her husband with it. After tasting the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve suddenly noticed that both were naked, became embarrassed and tried to hide from God. The Lord punished each participant in the events. He cursed the snake to forever crawl on its belly and feed on dust. And Adam and Eve, who committed original sin, were expelled from Eden.

Outside the Garden of Eden, a man had to work hard all his life and cultivate the land, and Eve was doomed to obey her husband and “bear children in sickness.” People lost the immortality that was characteristic of them in the Garden of Eden, and after death they were doomed to return to dust - to the earth. So that people would not make their way back to Eden and not taste the fruits of the Tree of Life there, which give immortality, the Lord placed a cherub at the entrance - a many-winged angel with a fiery sword.

After the expulsion from paradise, people began to be fruitful and multiply. Eve gave birth to the first son - Cain, and after him the second - Abel. The third son, Seth, was born to Eve when she was already 130 years old. From the family of this Seth came Noah - the Old Testament patriarch, who was saved in the ark during the Flood, along with a small group of the chosen righteous. The descendants of the other sons of Eve - Cain and Abel - died during the flood. Thus, Seth is considered the ancestor of modern humanity.

Screen adaptations

In episode 11 of the first season of The X-Files, the name of Eva is given to female and female clones artificially created during a genetic experiment. These lab-enhanced kids were supposed to be super soldiers. But something went wrong, and Eve's test subjects began to fly off the rails in their teens, turning into psychopathic killers.

In 2014, the biblical epic film Noah was released, where the image of Eve was embodied by actress Arian Rinehart.

In the TV series Supernatural, Eve is the mother of monsters, a powerful being that appeared long before angels and humans. She lived in Purgatory until she escaped from there to Earth, where, in the form of a mortal woman, she gathers her own army to resist angels, demons, and everything in general.

In 2013, Jim Jarmusch's film "Only Lovers Left Alive" was released, which is about a couple of vampires - an underground musician (), who lives in a semi-abandoned Detroit and is thinking about suicide, and his stylish wife (), who loves poetry and chats in the evenings with contemporary English poet Christopher Marlo in the warm Moroccan city of Tangier. Both vampires are named after the biblical progenitors - Adam and Eve.

• The images of Adam and Eve were repeatedly played up in art. The images of the progenitors of mankind are famous all over the world on the diptych of the German artist Albrecht Dürer and on the wings of the Ghent Altar of the van Eyck brothers. Hieronymus Bosch depicted Adam and Eve on the left wing of the famous triptych "The Garden of Earthly Delights", which shows the last three days of the creation of the world.

• Molecular biologists have dubbed "mitochondrial Eve" a woman who became the last common maternal ancestor of all living people and lived about two hundred thousand years ago. All human women have the mitochondrial DNA of this hypothetically existing lady, but this does not mean that she was the only "foremother" of mankind, as biblical eve. Other women also lived at the same time as the so-called "mitochondrial Eve", and also made their own contribution to the human gene pool. The two-part film "Discovery" "The Real Eve" is dedicated to this discovery.

• In Peterhof there are paired fountains "Adam" and "Eve", sculpted by the Italian Giovanni Bonazza by order of the Russian diplomat Raguzinsky at the time. For three centuries of existence, the fountains have not changed and have retained their original appearance.
• In Abrahamic religious traditions, it is believed that the Old Testament characters have very real burial places. The progenitor Eve, according to Judaism, was buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs, she is also the Cave of Machpelah, in the ancient part of the city of Hebron on the banks of the Jordan River. Together with Eve, Sarah, the wife of Abraham, Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, and Leah, the wife of Jacob, are buried there. And according to the Islamic version, the tomb of Eve is located in the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, where there is a place called the Tomb of Havva, or Mukbarat umna Havva.

• In Muslim tradition, Eve is called Havva. The Qur'an does not say anything about Adam's wife, she is only mentioned, without details. But the details are present in the hadiths, or traditions that tell about life. In this version, the Lord sent Adam and Havva to different parts of the world: after the fall, the man ended up in India, and the woman ended up in the Arabian Peninsula. It is believed that Havva gave birth not three times, but twenty, and each time - twins. The last Havva gave birth to one son. In total, Khavva, according to the Islamic version, had 39 children.
• Asteroid 164, discovered in 1876, is named after Eve.

Quotes

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve, for she became the mother of all living." - Genesis 3:20

“And the serpent said to the woman, Did God truly say, Do not eat from any tree in Paradise? And the woman said to the serpent: We can eat fruits from trees, only the fruits of a tree that is in the middle of paradise, God said, do not eat them and do not touch them, lest you die. And the serpent said to the woman: No, you will not die, but God knows that on the day you eat them, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil. And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eye and desirable, because it gives knowledge; and took its fruit and ate; and gave also to her husband, and he ate.” - Genesis 3:1-6

Characteristics of the name Eva

If the characteristic of Eve in childhood is active, then at an older age she can rather be called hardworking. She is still mobile and cheerful, but most of her energy is spent on various useful things. Eva is an adult self-sufficient person. She does not need listeners, in the form of girlfriends. She's very good at judging herself. life situations and knows what is good and what is bad. Because of this, I often consider her secretive and self-confident.

Eva is a winner by nature and is ready to work hard to win. She has strong willed qualities, which helps Eve a lot in life. Sometimes tired of easy victories, she herself begins to look for more difficult and interesting tasks. Eve's defeat is extremely difficult. She temporarily loses the strength to do anything and it is treated only with time. The task of relatives is to support Eve.

Eva loves to work, but she loves work, where there is a place for a real life feat, otherwise she will get bored. If Eva did not give her best at work, then she believes that she worked dishonestly. But this does not mean that Eve will do stupid pointless work, do not underestimate her. Eve can make a great leader. By her example, she will charge the team with confidence in the success.

Well, the most important calling in Eva's life is a family. In her priorities, the family is the most important and the most important. Eva is a born mother and a wonderful wife, but not every man can live next to her. Her activity and diligence cause in some men dumbfounded and even fear.

She simply will not be able to love such a man, no matter how hard he tries.

The secret of the name Eva

One of the secrets of the name Eva can be called her wonderful intuition. Eva is not a fan of sharing her inner experiences anyway, and she considers intuitive sensations to be completely personal. Therefore, her intuitive abilities remain a mystery to many. Those around her, trying in every possible way to influence her, often do not understand that Eva clearly sees their thoughts and motives.

The second secret of Eve can be called her vulnerability. She does not know how to defend herself at all and is very worried about aggression from other people. Here Eva needs support and protection from loved ones and, best of all, from a man. Such a man for little Eve can be a dad or brother, and for an adult - a husband.

“A direct descendant of Eve” - this is what J.G. Byron says in the poem “Don Juan” about the father of the protagonist, referring to the tendency to “pick forbidden fruits” ... it’s hard to disagree with this, since any person, by definition, is a direct descendant Eve... at least that's what the Bible says.

The name of the heroine - Eve (originally - Khavva) - perfectly reflects her role in the universe: from the Hebrew "hai" - "life". True, some modern researchers raise this name to the Aramaic "hevya" - "snake", but "giving life" looks somehow more convincing.

The creation of Eve is mentioned twice in Genesis - and often there is a contradiction between these two stories: “And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; He created them male and female,” says Chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives the details: “And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; Let us make him a helper fit for him.” The Creator offers the first man Adam animals - "but for man there was no helper like him." And only then does God create a woman from Adam's rib... So is there a contradiction here?

In fact, it is resolved very simply: the woman was in the Creator's original plan - but the Man had to realize her need through an unsatisfied need, because, as you know, contradictions (including between the need and the possibility of satisfying it) are the driving force of development. And now - a person comes to the realization that he needs someone equal to him - and at the same time different from him, a being with whom it is impossible to identify himself, respectively - it is impossible to fully understand. Such a being can only be known through love.

Another story related to Eve is the Fall. First of all, we should reject the stereotype that is not shared by any Christian - but very common in the philistine mind: the Fall is in no way connected with sex and childbearing! Perhaps the reason was that the word “to know a woman” in the Bible is used in the meaning of “to copulate”, and the Fall was also associated with the topic of knowledge ... this is a misunderstanding that blinds many eyes. Meanwhile, even before the Fall, the Creator ordered people to “be fruitful and multiply”…

In fact, the meaning of the Fall is much deeper. And we will see it very clearly when we look closely at modern civilization.

What is the main value in terms of modern man? That's right - the human person! In its name, human rights organizations, the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights, etc. are being created. and so on - and the layman likes to speculate about the "freedom of the individual." And behind all this bacchanalia, the fact that a person exists only in the human community somehow escapes attention (although this elementary truth is contained in any textbook of psychology). Destroy the community with its limitations - and there will be no person-personality, only the animal-individual will remain: "I want to eat" - and went to steal, "I want this woman" - and went to rape, "I want to throw out a bad mood" - and went to beat someone... And what if someone wants to satisfy such needs at your expense - after all, there are the same “free personalities” around (in the sense of individual animals) ... And now - they beat you, stole from you ... and then you begin to understand why a society is needed that “fetters” a person, why a hierarchy is needed that is inherent in society ...

And so, at the dawn of the existence of Mankind, the first people had to assimilate the first hierarchy: "God is a man." Only by cognizing this foundation of the universe could one cognize everything else - to cognize through self-restraint. This restriction concerned the fundamental human desire - the thirst for knowledge (at the same time, the value of knowledge also increased - remember how Adam learns the value of a woman through her initial absence).

But humanity - in the person of Eve - does not learn this lesson: "personal development" ("you will, like God, know Good and Evil") and "human rights" she puts above the will of God. And now - the hierarchy of the universe is collapsing, the connection “God - man” is collapsing, the nature of man is distorted - sin comes into it ... This is the death that God promised as a result of the violation of the only prohibition - and not physical death at all (otherwise we would have to assume that the Creator... how to put it mildly - gave out incorrect information: after all, physically the ancestors do not die immediately after eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil). And such a death can only be neutralized by the death of the God-man - the New Adam... but that's another story.

As for Adam and Eve, after being expelled from the Garden of Eden, they had to atone for their sin with sincere repentance and a righteous life - and upon descending into Hell in Great Saturday The Savior brought them out of the underworld along with other Old Testament righteous...

Was it - or was it not?

Of course, we do not have a textbook of paleoanthropology before us (even M.V. Lomonosov said that one cannot study chemistry from the Psalms - since there is no chemistry there ... in the same way one cannot study the history of the emergence of the biological species Homo Sapiens from the book of Genesis). The Bible was dictated by God - but people still wrote, and these people were not scientists in their modern form, but rather poets. And nothing prevents us from assuming that the "dust of the earth" from which man was created are mineral substances that were washed into the ocean by giant tidal waves on the young Earth - and from which organic molecules arose, and from them - life ... One way or another, the fall of the first people took place (if you doubt it, look not even at those around you, but at yourself first of all)...

But still - was there such a woman from whom every representative of modern humanity descends?

Yes, there was. There is such an organelle in cells - mitochondria, we will not dwell on its functions now, the important thing is that it has its own DNA molecule. And if the DNA contained in the nucleus is made up of paternal and maternal genes, then we get mitochondrial DNA entirely from the maternal egg. And therefore, using mitochondrial DNA, one can calculate the degree of relationship of all living people - as well as the time of accumulation of mutations. And so, molecular biologists have calculated that a hypothetical woman, to whom all modern humanity should go back, lived in Africa approximately 140 thousand years ago. This woman is called "mitochondrial Eve (or "African Eve").

And this is another proof that there are no and cannot be contradictions between the Bible and science. And if we see them, it means that we don't know enough yet.
