January name day, Orthodox holidays in January. January name day, Orthodox holidays in January Women's names born on January 26
Dreams come true for Athanasius, Peter, Jacob.
Roosters predict a quarrel, see chickens - find yourself in a strange situation or experience ridicule due to incompetence. Rooster singing - to bad news, clucking of hens - to a meeting with relatives.
The name Andrew in ancient Greek means "courageous." There are many examples in history showing how the name Andrey corresponds to its origin. The heroic path of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky is a confirmation of this.
Andrei is a princely name, and its owners are aristocrats, but of a skeptical nature, and of an ironic disposition. They are honest, brave and noble. Andrey is one of those heroes who rush to the embrasure, of course, if they decide that the embrasure is worthy of it.
In their youth, they often have to go through a difficult path of spiritual quest, the search for the meaning of life, and they often change places of study and work because of the liveliness of their character. It is difficult for them to find something to their liking - everywhere it seems boring. But then they find their path and follow it without turning. Nature rarely deprives Andreev: they have excellent abilities for the arts.
In their career, Andreys achieve significant success if they do not pay much attention to their social status, but are engaged in philosophizing in life. Then luck itself goes into the hands.
In their personal lives, they prefer women who balance on the edge - it can be a famous ballerina, a stripper, or a girl going to a monastery.
But Andrei himself does not like balance on the verge, preferring to watch it with his friends - in difficult times, Andrei will support morally and help. He does not sell betrayal, in one marriage he is kept only out of a sense of duty, and in exceptional cases - out of love.
ritual music ancient egypt will help Andrey very much to restore peace of mind after difficult life trials. Playing stringed exotic instruments simply liberates, expands the vision and removes the “veil from the eyes”.
Movement - an Egyptian dance or just improvisation to music - is, of course, unable to replace a trip to Egypt, but an excellent dope in between.
The figurine - a black bull with white markings - brings happiness. It can be stored in a drawer or on a table.
The gods of Egypt, who appeared in a dream, will predict that the streak of bad luck has ended.
Benjamin is a Hebrew name and in translation means "son of right hand”, “son of the most beloved of wives”, or “beloved son”.
This is the name of a person who spends most of his life in the service of a high idea: science, music or family. If such an idea cannot be found, if suddenly failures occur in the family, Benjamin can turn into a person who denies everything in the world, from religion to kindness in people. To get out of the state of such “all-negation” only the enthusiasm for an idea or religion helps him. He is soft, responsive and too open to other people. He lets them close to him, which leads to disappointment, and then he withdraws into his inner world, instead of throwing out disappointment to his friends.
The spicy aroma of cloves helps Benjamin with fatigue and overwork, makes it possible for the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
A broom is a powerful remedy for all evil spirits. Now brooms of three sizes are on sale. Large - with a brownie's face for the hallway, medium-sized with red berries from evil spirits - for the kitchen. And a small broom - to carry with you. Such a Talisman of the name makes Benjamin invulnerable to all kinds of irritations. Sometimes they use the “method of dissipating the energy of the enemy”: when an unpleasant subject has left, they sweep his trail with a broom with the words: “Out, out, out.” After such actions, an unnecessary guest will not appear soon. Well, if it is necessary for a person to come as often as possible, then they sweep a broom towards the threshold with the words: “Come.” If you want uninvited guests to leave as soon as possible or customers not to be tempted to explode with a stream of abuse, a broom is placed with a whisk up in the corner of the window. There he will remind you that it is better to get out as soon as possible.
If carnation flowers were seen in a dream - red and white or another color, then this Name Day Dream reminds that the time to sort things out has not come and the power is not on Benjamin's side. Worth the wait. Seeing carnations in snowflowers is not the best best sign. A good dream would be the appearance in a dream of a Tibetan unicorn called "chiru". In fact, it is more correct to call this beast an antelope. Appearing in a dream, chiru reminds that a period of upsurge and good luck lies ahead. It is said that unicorns, including chiru, are able to get in touch with guardian angels. Benjamin has reliable protection!
The name Nina has several origins. The most popular version calls the name Greek, derived from the name of the founder of the Assyrian state, Ninos. The same name was given to the capital of Assyria. According to another version, this name is Spanish - this is how a little girl is called in Spanish. The name is popular in England, France and Germany. In these countries, it is used as an abbreviation for names ending in "nina" - Antonina, for example. If a woman's name is Antonina, then she can be called Nina.
Nina is a little arrogant, has a knack for foreign languages and music. Her arrogance is justified, her patroness shines in the starry sky - the dazzling star Vega from the constellation Lyra, which endows Nina with coldness and brilliance. Alas! Oriental treatises say that dazzling women are rarely happy in love, despite the patronage of high stars...
Cosmic legends say that the star Vega had a beloved Bootes. The one that is also called the star Altair from the constellation Eagle. But space miles separated Prince Bootes and Princess Bega.
The wrath of the heavenly kings commanded the lovers to stand all their lives on opposite sides of the Milky Way, and only once a year their paths crossed - on the seventh day of the seventh month after lunar calendar. Of course, the lovers saw each other more often - they were helped by smart birds - they built a bridge from their wings, along which the heavenly princess and the prince walked.
To achieve happiness in her personal life, Nina has to struggle with various circumstances, the will of her parents, relatives, and sometimes fate itself.
You can restore strength with the help of the energy of the constellation Lyra. To get the energy of this constellation, you need to look at its image, then close your eyes, imagine the pattern and the energy that flows from the stars. Take a breath and "breathe in" the energy, "exhale" after that the bad energy is a must.
As a Talisman of the name, you can use the image of the constellation Lyra. If you like a drawing from the atlas of Jan Hevelius, you need to cut it out and carry it with you. Let's admit another option: you can buy a silver pendant depicting the constellation Lyra.
The constellation Lyra brings good luck.
The name comes from the ancient Roman name Sergius, which means "high, highly venerated." Translated from Latin as "servant". Researchers also find Etruscan roots in the name. It is assumed that the name arose from two parts: the first is “servant”, the second is “master”, and they called those who, being of a low social status, managed to achieve a high one. This was very difficult to do in ancient times, much more difficult than it is now.
Sergey, born on January 26, is the image of a heroic person. Despite the flexibility of character, refined mind and ingenuity, he often finds himself between two or even three fires, as they say, in the very heat of events. He "rushes to the embrasure", because there is simply nowhere to retreat. Sergey is able to inspire and send a large number of people into battle, is able to captivate with speeches, even if he has a general idea about the subject of the lecture. His whole life is continuous creativity. Even the process of milking cows he can describe in such a way that listeners immediately desire to become milkers.
Rest and a source of strength for Sergei is sound: a lute or a six-string guitar is suitable for him, but only classical pieces of music, and not “thieves' chords”. If you can’t play yourself on the name day (actually, the guitar is a simple instrument), then the recordings will have a beneficial effect. And if a regular guitar doesn’t fit, then you need to switch to a ukulele.
It is also useful for Sergei to read about the exploits of his eminent predecessors - spiritual figures, great commanders, who were called Sergei - to raise his tone - there were many of them. Reading about the exploits of the heroes of the same name will provide an influx of energy for Sergey, open up new opportunities.
The talisman of the name for Sergey is the globe - a small image, an ordinary glass globe is also suitable.
The globe in a dream on the night of the name day is happiness.
Birds of paradise dream of surprises, a peacock - to the fact that the dreamer is too arrogant, a firebird - to impending good luck.
As can be seen from the ancient saints, according to Orthodox canon, On January 26, the name day is celebrated by those who received the following at baptism male names- Athanasius, Maxim, Nikifor, Pakhom and Peter.
Since there are no female names in the calendar for this period, the name day of girls born today should be postponed for eight days, when in the old days a person was given a name.
If there are no suitable female names on the indicated day, then the babies can be named after those patron saints whom the Church honors on the fortieth day after their birth, when, according to tradition, they need to be baptized.
According to church calendar for 2019, on January 26, the memory of the Monk James, Bishop of Nezibian, is venerated, therefore Jacobs or Jacobs also celebrate their name day on this day.
And the custom requires that boys born today be called that way, in honor of their Guardian Angel, so that he will always be with them and help in the most difficult moments.
In addition, the name Jacob has a special energy and forms a strong-willed character, this person always thinks logically and finds the most beneficial solutions for himself, he is conservative and thorough, therefore he rarely makes mistakes.
During this period, birthday people can turn to their patrons with any requests - they are guaranteed to be heard. But we must not forget about the words of gratitude for the Guardian Angel, as well as sincere repentance.
Jacob was born into the family of one of the Armenian princes at the end of the 3rd century, was brought up in a strict Christian morality and received the best education for those times.
While still very young, he went as a hermit to the mountains in the vicinity of the city of Nisibia, where he performed his spiritual exploits. Jacob slept on the ground, his clothes were animal skins, and he ate the fruits of wild trees.
All this time he prayed tirelessly and in his prayers received answers to the most important questions for mankind. Moreover, he was endowed with the gift of foresight and miracles.
Gradually, the fame of him reached the Nisibis, who persuaded Jacob to take the episcopal chair in their city. . In the rank of bishop, he was engaged in enlightenment, organized schools, read edifying sermons, and stopped enemies with the power of prayer.
