In infancy, the sacrament of baptism is performed on many children. This is that from the moment of baptism, every person has a certain patron, or Guardian Angel. Orthodox Christians have a saint, whose name, in fact, they name a child.
In principle, it does not matter whether a person notes or not. It doesn’t matter how many times a year he does this. The main thing is not to forget about such days and sincerely honor the day of memory of your saint.
When is Sergei's name day?
It’s hard to believe, but Sergei has name days 61 times a year (Gregorian)! In general, the word “name day” means the date of memory of the saint, in whose honor, in fact, the child was named. Traditionally, name day is the first day of remembrance of a saint after his birth. For example, Seryozha, who was born, will celebrate his name day on September 24.
On Angel Day, it is customary to give everything that connects the birthday person with God and the Church. These are icons, candles, lamps, the Bible, various religious literature, etc.
Sergei's name day (or Angel Day) is celebrated in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. All of Sergei’s name days can be easily determined by looking at the church calendar. There these days will be designated as dates and great martyrs named Sergei.

Celebrating name days in Rus'
It is curious that in Rus' name days were not inferior to birthdays at all! Then Angel Day was celebrated by a large circle of relatives and friends.

By shouting, giving us all the answer.
They called you Serezhenka,
Songs were sung and praised.
You were cradled, rocked,
May you fall asleep sweetly.
Time passed... And you grew.
You have reached adult life,
They began to sing the songs themselves,
Blush from embarrassment...
So we lived, didn’t grieve,
Honestly, we were friends correctly,
By making yourself appreciated,
They respected and did not scold.
You have reached those heights
That not everyone will reach them.
You are talented, Sergey,
The best for friends!
Happiness to you and your loved ones,
The path of life should not be close,
And distant and beautiful.
May you be happy in it!

Your politeness and tact.

And good luck collecting.

Don't forget your fortune
Take a little optimism,
And something else.

It will be easier and brighter,
May someone always help you
If it gets harder.
Keep hope on the way
If trouble is shrouded in smoke,
Stay as before
Definitely for family.
Open and sociable
Fun and simple.
Also amazing
You have kindness.
Responsive, very sincere,
Always friendly.
Mysterious, mysterious,
You can't do it without difficulty.

And be happy all year round.

And never vice versa!
Seryozha, I wish you all the best,
More fun and positivity!
Let every step you take be true,
Live with pleasure, leisurely!
I want to wish that your wishes come true,
So that everything works out in your life,
So that new facets open up for you,
Let there be six zeros in your income!
On the road of your life
Let there be fewer stones
Move towards your cherished dream,
Don't give up, Sergei.
I wish you strength
To take peaks easily,
I know for sure that you can
You rise high.

Love is moving nearby
And passion, the desire for a goal
They excite your blood.

Be happy, don't be bored.
In this glorious moment from God
Just get joy.
Let nothing bother you
There is comfort in my soul,
Let the cloud not hide the sun,
And only good luck awaits!
Determined by church calendar. These dates appear in it as days of remembrance of saints and great martyrs from
Name days have recently begun to return to modern life. Of course, in terms of importance they are inferior traditional day birth, although in Rus' it was the other way around.
Let's find out how Angel Sergei's Day was celebrated in the old days (and all other name days too), what gifts were given to the birthday boy, what the traditions of celebration were, as well as the dates of name days according to the church calendar.
Meaning of the name
Even Sergei themselves do not always know the origin and meaning of their name. It has Roman roots, was considered a family name there, and translated from Latin means “highly revered, high.”
The secret of name day
In Rus', before the revolution, on the 8th day of life. Naming took place in accordance with Church Saints- from them they chose the name of the saint whose memorial day was located next to the event of baptism.
The child henceforth acquired a patron in the person of a saint, who was supposed to protect him from all worldly troubles, not only the body, but also the soul, above all. It was also believed that he could be endowed with those holy qualities that were inherent in his “high” protector.
Name day holiday
Angel Sergei's Day was celebrated in the circle of family and friends, in a restrained, sincere atmosphere. Wide, noisy celebrations were not suitable for name days, since this day was intended to appeal to one’s spirituality and soul.
In addition, if the name day fell during the period of fasting, then the dishes were prepared based on this. Name day, you
those who fell were transferred to the next day off.
The main difference festive table there was a loaf that was baked in large sizes. They tried to give him unusual shape- elongated rectangle, oval, octagon. The name of the hero of the occasion was laid out with dough on the surface of the pie. This was a symbolic action, indicating the main “reason” for the holiday.
Angel Sergei Day
The date of the name day depends on when Sergei was born. According to the church calendar, name days fall on the following days and months:
- in January: 15, 27;
- in April: 2, 25;
- in June: 1, 6;
- in July: 11, 18;
- in August: 25;
- in September: 17, 24;
- in October: 8, 11, 20, 23;
- in November: 29;
- in December: 11.
These are the days when Sergei celebrates his name day.
Angel Sergei Day: what to give and how to congratulate
A name day is a personal holiday, but not quite an ordinary one. If we turn again to the old days, then the birthday boy was given everything that connects a person with God and the church - icons, scriptures, lamps, candles, religious literature.
IN modern life the name day holiday has almost lost its original meaning and acquired the status of a social event. Of course, this applies to people whose lives are not connected with religion and church. Therefore, today almost anything can be given on name days, although gifts are modest and are intended to express attention and respect to the hero of the occasion.
It will be very pleasant for any birthday person, including all Sergei, to receive a beautifully composed congratulation from the guests. For example, this:
"Dear Sergey!
I sincerely congratulate you on Angel’s Day and your name day!
I wish that your Protector and Heavenly Patron will always protect you, protect you from adversity, sorrow and deprivation. I wish you to always be under His shadow, smile and enjoy life. Happy birthday to you, dear birthday boy, may we keep you safe and happy!”
