On April 22, only those with the name Vadim celebrate their name day. There are no female names presented today.

The Orthodox calendar for 2020 tells us that on April 22 it is customary to venerate the Cypriot icon of the Mother of God.

Previously, name days were celebrated on a larger scale than birthdays. However, those whose two holidays coincided were considered especially lucky.

The birthday people set the table a variety of dishes, gathered guests and joyfully celebrated, thanking their Guardian Angel.

Name days still remain a popular holiday, although they are not celebrated on such a large scale. Holders of the names of patron saints pray to the protector, asking him for mercy and help.

The patron never leaves the girls and boys under his care, always looking after them and guiding them in difficult situations.

The icon was found in Cyprus in 392, where Lazarus was buried. Now it is kept in the monastery built on this site.

The icon depicts the seated Virgin Mary with her son in her arms, with angels on her right and left. Her power to heal people is known throughout the world.

Once upon a time, a man passing by the church decided to laugh at the icon and shot an arrow at it. The blood that came out spilled onto the ground, and the blasphemer died before he could reach home.

Even copies made from this unique icon can work a miracle. All of them are kept in churches, where to this day a huge number of people strive to go.

Features of choosing a name for a child

There are certain tips for choosing a name for a newborn. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them first:

Choose a name that will sound good with your middle name. Sometimes parents do not pay enough attention to this moment, and the child suffers in adulthood.

Be careful if you want to name your child after someone. It is advisable to become thoroughly familiar with the biography of this person. It is generally accepted that a name leaves a certain imprint on a person’s fate. But there are also cases when the character traits of one person can be transferred to another. Moreover, the child can repeat some episodes from the life of his namesake. So be careful and be especially careful about this issue.

How to determine a child’s name day if he was not named on the saint’s name day

It happens that you liked the name of a saint, but it appears on a different day, and not on the child’s birthday. In this case, priests recommend looking through the church calendar and finding the name of the saint after the birthday. The first one to meet and be named day. And if the name does not appear in the calendar, then you need to seek help from a priest who will help you choose one that is consonant.

Name day or name day is called one of the main and important days in the life of every Christian. This day is considered the day of the child’s heavenly patron, after whom he was named. Priests recommend coming to church on such holidays and reading thanksgiving prayers to your guardian angels for protecting you.

Child's baptismal name

It happens that during baptism the priest gives the child a different name. This is explained by the fact that when inducing damage or other magical rituals, they use the church name of the child. That is why parents are forbidden to tell it to anyone. It is believed that the saint protects the baby and protects him from negative influences.

Remember that choosing a name is quite serious for every person. You need to think carefully before making a decision. After all, a child is given a name once and for the rest of his life.

The Lord is always with you!

Men's name day on April 22 according to the church calendar

• - from the Old Russian word vaditi - “to argue, sow confusion” or “to tame” from the Old Russian word volod - “ruler”, a short form of the name Vadimir - “to argue”.
• - from the Hebrew name Gabriel - “a strong man of God, a warrior of God.”

Name of the day April 22 - Vadim

The origins of the name are lost in the fog of centuries. Most often, the origin of the name is associated with the Slavic word Vadimir, which meant “arguer”, “sower of trouble.” There are versions according to which the name is translated as “attractive.”

Vadimov is often misunderstood by those around him; in order to earn their piece of luck, they have to work hard. Ultimately, Vadim achieves success through sacrifice. It is no coincidence that another almost forgotten translation of this name is “like an angel.”

Meditation on name day with the help of the Virgo constellation will help Vadim get rid of tense situations.

To gain strength through meditation, you need to imagine a constellation. You can take the constellation from the atlas of Jan Hevelius as an example. Vadim can feel how the constellation sends out rays that destroy bad energies and impart good powers. Along with inhalation, light rays penetrate the soul, and with exhalation, dark rays leave.

After a 15-minute presentation of the constellation, you need to return from space to earth.

The birth of a child is one of the most joyful and memorable moments in the life of parents. Undoubtedly, almost every couple wants their child to remain at such an early age as long as possible.
