Day of the angel eve according to the church calendar. Eve's name day

29.09.2019

head of catechesis courses of the Dnepropetrovsk diocese, cleric of the Church of the Nativity Holy Mother of God:

– This question is connected with a serious church problem – neophyteism. The fact that the overwhelming majority of believers in the post-Soviet (post-atheist) space are new converts (neophytes) is quite axiomatic and does not require statistical confirmation. Well, neophytes inevitably want to testify to everyone around them that they belong to one or another religious structure.

There is no doubt that the feelings of these people are sincere and beautiful. Although the outward manifestations of their delight look naive, sometimes they are simply ridiculous and even stupid.

Neophyteism often manifests itself in appearance, but the naming of children in Orthodox families with rare biblical names also belongs to the same phenomenon. Although in former times it was more characteristic of sectarians: Baptists, Seventh-day Adventists, etc.

For the Orthodox, this range expands to any rare Christian names that are in the calendar. But it should be noted that the attitude towards the saints has always been quite differentiated. That is, there are names by which monastics were most often called.

However, some names ceased to be purely monastic, and became more even secular. For example, the name Margarita - earlier this name was mainly called nuns. But this is hardly an exception.

"There's something sectarian about it"

– The neophyte complex itself, including the tendency to call children by rare biblical names, is, in my opinion, a sign of unconscious pride. A person seems to want to fight pride, but in reality he simply does not see that, sticking out his religiosity, he only found to realize pride new form. And children with such exotic names will have not only hard, but somewhat uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Society consists of different people, and such names can cause ridicule for some, and irritation for others. Although, of course, people from the environment of neophytes treat such names with approval. The neophyte is fixated on his new worldview model and, as a rule, wants to turn the whole world upside down so that it becomes consonant with his new beliefs. There is something sectarian about it. Therefore, the biblical names are perceived by others in combination with his annoying behavior and cause irritation.

“There is a name in the calendar - there is nowhere to go”

- And when they ask to be baptized with some very well rare name, and I want to recommend: well, then name the prophet Isaiah called his son: Meger Shelal Hash Baz. (True, he is not numbered among the saints). Or the name of the holy martyr Khusdazad - there is such a name in the calendar. In such cases, I invite parents to think, but do not insist. And there is no reason to refuse to baptize a child with that name: this name is in the holy calendar - there is nowhere to go.

This doesn't happen often in our parish, but no, no, it does happen. It was possible to baptize with the names of Rachel, Rebekah, Sampson. Somehow they brought a boy, Solomon, to be baptized. But with Solomon it is easier - the Church did not rank him among the saints.

Although there are quite a lot of biblical names and at the same time quite common. So, for example, after a long oblivion, they again began to call the boys Thomas. And the name David did become very popular.

And, of course, the name that many consider to be almost the most Russian is Ivan. In fact, it is not Russian, but of Jewish, biblical origin. True, the Jews have not called their children by this name for a long time. In their opinion, the fact that the name John (Heb. Yochanan) has become so common among Christian nations: Johannes (Hans), John, Jan, Jean, Juan - “discredits” him, and calling Jewish boys by that name is completely unacceptable. Even here, however, there are exceptions.

And finally, in recent times, the names Adam and Eve are often found. In Russia, these names were not so rare, and the name Eva, as it seemed to me, began to revive a little earlier than the name Adam. True, most often you have to call it that when they bring a girl with the name Evelina to be baptized. These names are often chosen by non-church people, because the names Adam and Eve are significant in secular culture and art.

“Any extremes are from demons”

But now we are not talking about such biblical names as Thomas, Adam and Eve, and even more so not about the name Ivan. And about the fact that the very desire to give children rare, even exotic names is due to the tendency to emphasize their peculiarity and exclusivity. However, the propensity for the exotic most often causes irritation and can be perceived as a kind of manifestation of marginality. And it will inevitably affect children.

For parents, choosing such names can be a form of outrageousness to show that we are not like everyone else. But it's one thing with a similar purpose to put on some kind of awkward T-shirt - he vilified it and threw it away. And another thing is to give a person a name.

Therefore, parents, when choosing a name for a child, must take into account all facets: so that it is both familiar, and euphonious, and Orthodox. Because if there is an inflection in one direction, then it gives a general roll. I do not remember which of the holy fathers, in my opinion, Saint Ambrose Optinsky said: "Any extremes are from demons." So in the naming of children, extremes must also be avoided.

“The child should be given such a name so that he falls in love with him” - the opinion of the head of the registry office

has been in charge of the city registry office in Vinnitsa for more than 30 years:

- There are parents who, even before the doors of the registry office, are arguing about what name to name the child. And it happens that not only dad and mom, but the whole family gathers and all relatives, in order to choose a name for the child, discuss, consult. They treat this responsibly - not just “the neighbor has a girl Nastenka, and we will call ourselves that.”

The child should be given such a name that he fell in love with him. Because if a child does not like his name, there will be no sense. And this is not a child who does not love his name - this is a child who is not loved in the family. He was named so that he was uncomfortable.

And such an observation: if a person comes to change his name, it means that the family could not make him fall in love with him. It depends on the parents and other relatives - they didn’t give the child something, some kind of trouble in the family.

Ancient unusual names of children, of course, are called - but this does not often happen. For example, with the name Savva, we register three children per year - no more. Now people have begun to look at church calendars: Catholics look in their own way, Jews in their own way, and Orthodox too. But Ukrainians twist the names - they do not write Kirilo, as it should be according to dictionaries, but Cyril, with two Ukrainian "i". Or Christina instead of Christina. Correctly in Ukrainian they do not want to call.

And during registration, parents can even call the child an Electric Pillar, even a Light Bulb. There are no restrictions. We write it down like this: "The name of the child is assigned by agreement of the parents." Especially when a non-traditional name is chosen or its spelling differs from the generally accepted one. Now they began to call children more by the names of grandfathers, great-grandfathers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers - they want the name to be preserved in the family and live on.

“Biblical names have the same right to restoration in the life of society as any other” - the opinion of a philologist

Natalya Ivanova, philologist, now working in an Orthodox kindergarten in Kaliningrad:

– And in our kindergarten there are many children with biblical and ancient Christian names. Most often they are the children of priests. I have two sisters in the group - Anastasia and Pelageya, there is also Fedor, Matvey, Mark, Makar.

As a philologist, I can say that every nation has its preferred names, which they use as national ones and pass on to the next generations. In Russia, for a long time, the saints played the main role in choosing a name. In the Soviet period, all rights were transferred to the registry office, that is, from the church to the state, which influenced the variety of names for babies, the so-called neologism names. V recent history there are no clear preferences towards the names of "secular", biblical, old Russian, etc.

Personally, I believe that names as such fix and transmit cultural attitudes and stereotypes from generation to generation, and the modern world is prone to universality in this matter as well. In particular, biblical names have the same right to life, more precisely, to restoration in the life of society, like any others.

“Themistocluses with Alcides and a crystal bridge across the river” - the opinion of a psychologist

Olga Shurygina, consultant psychologist at Yandex, St. Petersburg:

- When such names are given to children, then someone just wants to show off, and someone, perhaps, thinks that "whatever you call a yacht, so it will float." It seems to me that when choosing a name, one should be guided by an ear for music and respect for the future of the child, and not burden him with his cultural meanings or his fantasies about beautiful life heroes of epics and legends.

With an unsuccessful choice of name, the child may suffer. Either start to dislike and be ashamed of yourself, or secretly hate your parents. Nothing good - I would not experiment. And she allowed the authorities to change the problematic name in such cases. But maybe the child will be lucky with the psyche, and he will not care.

And I don’t think that the craving for exotic biblical names is manifested only among Orthodox believers. This is all that Gogol has already described. Remember the sons of Manilov? Themistoclus and Alcides. Claims for education and aristocracy. Meanwhile, at the very book, laid on the 14th page for two years already. What else to add to Gogol?!

There are rare cases when they are named after an idol that everyone knows about. And that is not healthy for a child, but at least it is understandable. Couldn't resist. And in all other cases - Themistocluses with Alcides and a crystal bridge across the river.

“If only the spouses did not quarrel when naming the child”

- Probably, the business of every parent and mother is how to name their children, - believes Natalya Grom, police major from Vinnitsa. – Although we should take into account the time in which we live, so that the child later in adult life would be comfortable with one name or another.

Everything depends on the name itself. Many do not even know, naming children, for example, Jacob or Eve, that these names are biblical, - says journalist Ludmila Kalita from Kiev. – However, there are many other names in the Bible that are not so attractive in sound (at least in our latitudes and in our time). When naming a child one of these, it is worth remembering that the children with whom your child will definitely communicate every day are not familiar with the meaning of all the names in the world. Therefore, we must prepare to wipe away his tears, if in the garden, in the yard or school to his unusual name picked up a derogatory name.

“I don’t like it when children are called rare biblical names,” says Vadim Romanenko, head of the company "Union of Publishing Houses" (Kyiv). “It's like putting on a frilly outfit that might be empty behind it.

“To be honest, I like it when children are called “old” names, and I sincerely groan and gasp if I hear that a newborn was named Luke or Elisha,” says Mother Victoria Mogilnaya, mother of eight children from Kiev.

When our fifth daughter was born, only such unusual names as Yazdundodkta were in the calendar nearby, and my husband gave me the freedom of choice. Now, despite all the banter from close relatives, we have a daughter with the ancient name of Eva. We also have Tikhon. True, he was born on the Annunciation. The Lord gave "according to his heart" - to name his son in honor of one of the most beloved saints.

To paraphrase Chesterton, I like everything "that prevents us from becoming truly modern people."

The name, probably, is also a kind of echo of bygone eras, where letters were written with a pen, and happiness did not depend on the presence hot water in the tap. If only the spouses did not quarrel when naming the child, and both liked the name. And whether it is ancient or not, fashionable or the most ordinary, it does not matter, it seems to me. This is the name of a saint, which means that we have hope for support and prayerful intercession.

Eve Angel Day

From the Hebrew language - the giver of life. “And Adam called his wife's name Eve, for she became the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20). The name comes from the Hebrew name Havva, which means "life, living." Corresponds to the Slavic Zhivee, personifying life.

In terms of its sound energy, Eva is a slightly chilly name, but groovy and purposeful. A significant role is also played by the idea of "original sin" associated with this name, and due to the small distribution of this name in Russia, such a connection can be traced quite clearly, leaving a certain imprint on the character of Eve. No, this does not mean at all that modern Eve will be a copy of the legendary foremother of mankind, however, the ambiguity of this biblical image and the interest in this issue that has not cooled over the centuries testify to its importance. In addition, this idea resonates well with the general energy of the name.

Indeed, in the name there is a sensual aspiration, activity, perhaps even passion, but at the same time a certain lack of softness makes the name somewhat cold. Isn't it very similar to the biblical tradition, when the passion for "eating erotic apples" turns into anxiety, and then the coldness of expulsion from a happy paradise? In addition to everything Eva herself, these thoughts will come to mind at an early age, and first impressions, as you know, are most profound.

When it comes to love, its inherent logic and rationality recede into the background. Now she is an affectionate, gentle, cheerful woman, she will never get bored with her. As a life partner, Eva most often chooses a man with the same character and temperament as hers. She does not tolerate cold partners next to her. She will not marry until she finds a man who would fully correspond to her ideals. It often happens that Eve's first marriage may not be entirely successful.

Eva is a beautiful, religious, multinational name, in different options existing in all languages of the world. According to Jewish tradition, this was the name of Adam's second wife (the first was named Lilith). In Hebrew, the name Eve sounds like Chava, and is translated as "giving life."

In Russia, the name has never been particularly popular, perhaps due to its close association with "original sin". However, in the last decade, the name Eve has been steadily gaining popularity, especially since it has always been widespread in other countries.

The short, melodic, international name Eva goes well with many Russian patronymics, as well as with surnames, but not as simple as Ivanov or Sidorov.

History knows many prominent women who bear the beautiful biblical name Eve. Among them are famous actresses Eva Longoria and Eva Mendes, singers Eva Bushmina and Eva Polna, athletes Eva Romanova and Eva Serrano and many others.

Name days and patron saints

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 Evas have enviable willpower, the ability to manipulate people, restraint and poise.

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 the best: it concerns her family or career.

Childhood

Little Eva - cheerful, energetic, inquisitive child, from infancy distinguished by stubbornness. 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 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.
