Name days have recently begun to return to modern life. Of course, in terms of significance they are inferior to the traditional birthday, although in Rus' it was the other way around.

The secret of name day

In Rus', before the revolution, on the 8th day of life. The naming took place in accordance with the 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 being baked large sizes. They tried to give it an unusual shape - an 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.

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, Holy Scriptures, lamps, candles, religious literature.

"Dear Sergey!
