July 22nd is the name day. Name day July female and male names according to the church calendar

When choosing what to name girls and boys born today, it is important to consider that in the calendar, name days on June 22 are marked only for those who received the following at baptism male names- Alexander, Andrey, Ivan, Kirill, Mikhail, Fedor and Ian.

Additionally, birthday people are presented in the church calendar for 2020, according to which one can congratulate those who were baptized in the name of the New Martyr Constantine (Lebedev) on Angel Day.

But female names for this period are not presented either in the calendar or in the church calendar.

Therefore, the name day of girls born on this day should be postponed by eight days. So, according to the naming tradition, you can choose the most suitable female names in honor of the saints venerated on the specified date.

We must remember that July 22 Orthodox Church especially honors the memory of the Bishop of Tauromenia Hieromartyr Pankratius, therefore the Pankrats have the most important name day on this day.

Consequently, Pankrata birthday people are endowed with willpower, diligence and hard work from birth. They are friendly and selfless, prone to hard physical labor.

Pancratius was from one of the Syrian provinces and lived in the 1st century. Together with his father, he traveled to Israel to see the Son of God with his own eyes.

Imbued with all his heart by the teachings of Christ, the young man became his zealous follower and even met the Apostle Peter. Soon he returned to his homeland and there, together with his family, he was baptized by one of the twelve apostles.

Afterwards Pankratius was ordained by Peter to the episcopal see of Tauromenia. Having taken this post, he zealously performed his duties, helping to strengthen christian church and more and more people turning to it.

But in the city where he lived, there were enough pagans who, seeing an opportunity for themselves, stoned the bishop to death. He was buried with honors, and later a temple was erected in his honor in Rome, where the saint’s relics were transferred.

As soon as the pregnancy test tells you the good news, you are immediately faced with a certain choice. The first thing is what to name the baby. And then the parents spend a large number of time to think, because it is necessary to approach such a responsible event with all seriousness. If the name is chosen hastily and thoughtlessly, this may lead to inconvenience for the child. Previously, the choice of name depended only on the church calendar. All name days for July according to the church calendar for boys and girls are scheduled by month. People simply turned to the priest and he, regarding the date of birth, chose the name of the newborn.

How to choose the right name for your baby

Remember that a child’s name is given once and it will not be possible to change it until the age of 18. There is a certain list of rules that should be followed when choosing a name:

1. Remember the responsibility in choosing a name to the child.
2. Be careful if the name is non-standard. Children are very vulnerable and sometimes such a name can cause ridicule among their peers. This can cause psychological trauma to the child.
3. The chosen name should not cause rejection among others. It's better if it's respectful. If the name is affectionate or too soft, the child may not be taken seriously.
4. Try to choose a name that is similar to the child’s middle name. It is advisable to initially ask the opinion of someone who is more objective than you. It just happens that the parents are interested and the pronunciation of the name in their performance will not sound the same as it will sound when pronounced by another person.
5. Be careful when choosing fashionable names. This may cause some difficulties over time. Fashion is a fickle concept. It will change, and the name will not sound so beautiful or ridiculous.
6. Also, do not forget that the name has a certain influence on a person’s character. Before choosing any one, you should very carefully study the qualities that the baby will have.
7. Some people don’t want to bother themselves and choose a name according to the name day according to the church calendar in July. Then the child is protected all his life.

Remember that a name is not just a word that people call you. This is also a certain symbolic series that carries a mystical influence on a person’s fate. That is why it is worth approaching its choice quite consciously. After all, it can not only help develop and strengthen certain positive qualities of the baby’s character, but also introduce some negative traits into his behavior.

The Lord is always with you!

Mary was from Galilee. From her youth she was possessed by demons. When Jesus cast the demons out of her, she left the house and followed him along with other healed women, showing touching concern for him.
Even when the disciples’ faith in him wavered, Maria did not doubt him for a minute. She stood mournfully with him at the Cross on Calvary, sharing his suffering. Mary Magdalene accompanied the body of Christ to the burial place. She was the first to see the risen Christ and, rejoicing, announced what she saw to the apostles.
