The name Eugene, whose Angel Day falls on different days of the year, is beautiful and popular among Russian people. If you call your son like that, do not forget to look at the holy calendar when the child has a name day.
Tradition of celebration
In Russia, the day of the Angel of Man has always been celebrated on a special scale. The whole family prepared for this event in advance: baked pies, cooked mead, made gifts. In the evening, the birthday man went to church for confession, and in the morning he would partake of the communion whenever possible, be sure to apply to the icon of his divine patron, put candles in front of her and other images of saints, and then go home. All relatives were already waiting for him there. Godmothers, friends, acquaintances were invited to the festive table - everyone who knew and loved the hero of the occasion.
There are more than two thousand saints officially recognized by the Orthodox Church. People often do not know when to answer their day of the Angel, because many of the saints of God have the same name. In this case, you must remember that the patron is always one, and he can have several days of memory. For example, relics can be celebrated, the day of glorification in the faces of saints , etc. You need to navigate by the date of your birthday and look for God's saint, whose memory is near or after this event. Thus, Eugene, whose angel’s day is many times a year in numbers, must know when exactly the church celebrates the memory of his saint.
How is Angel's Day related to choosing a name for a child?
Believers at baptism try to give such a name to the child, which is in the Orthodox Saints. In Russia, this rite was performed on the eighth day from the birth of the baby. He could receive a name in honor of that saint whose memory the church honors on the day of the baptism of a child. In another case, the parents have already chosen a heavenly patron for their baby, and God's saint will not necessarily be remembered that day. The celebration of the saint can be, for example, in a month. Suppose, little Eugene, whose angel day, judging by the number of God's saints, can be almost all year round, will certainly not be deprived of a heavenly patron.
Of course, at present, young parents can give any name they like to their child (sometimes it is not even in the holy calendar). Children are named after grandparents, close relatives and best friends. However, now Orthodox Old Russian names that give children in honor of the saints so that they have strong patrons are just in fashion. The name Eugene, whose day of the Angel happens almost every month of the year (according to the number of saints), is also quite popular in our time.
The origin of the name and its characteristics
Many people always try to celebrate an Angel named day. Eugene from Greek translates as "noble." Since childhood, the boy is distinguished by industriousness, however, if an obstacle arises in his way, he may be frightened and not finish the job. Already an adult young man is often helped by innate stubbornness and the desire to achieve his goal at any cost. Growing up, Eugene becomes a nice communicative and good-natured person. His excessive ardor can inspire others to do something, often a talented organizer. His intuition is on top.
Sometimes Zhenya is very picky about others, but this can be explained by the fact that he is demanding on himself. In science and technology, he will not be equal, but it’s difficult for Eugene to concentrate his attention on one thing for a long time. He likes the feeling of adrenaline in the blood, so Zhenya often takes risks without thinking about the consequences. He has a light disposition. This is the whole of Eugene, whose Angel Day can serve as an excellent occasion for friendly gatherings with friends. Zhenya easily falls in love and is looking for more care and warmth in women than external beauty. Eugene rarely goes into conflict and mostly prefers peace in the family. He is loved by young children.
