Helpful information!

Some believe that Angel Day is a magical day; magical gifts for loved ones are perfect for such an occasion.

Determining the “baptismal” name

To find out a person’s name day, you need to know his “baptismal” name.

This can be done with the help of the calendar - a special Orthodox book where all the saints and the days corresponding to them are entered. If a person’s name is not in the calendar, then any consonant name is chosen.

The names of some saints are very popular, so on Angel’s Day such a person is given special, traditional things: for example, a woman named Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov or Sofia is given gifts of three things, and a woman named Daria is often given flowers on April 1.

Therefore, when choosing a gift, you should carefully study the biography of the namesake saint - perhaps it will tell you what to give.

If history doesn't provide any clues, then perhaps our universal tips will help you!

To mom

The dearest and dearest person needs to choose a gift wisely to show all your love. If you are wondering what to give your mom for her birthday, here are some recommendations:

• Cake
  . You can order a cake from a master, but it’s better to bake it yourself (if, of course, you know how) - it will be especially pleasant.
• Pet
  . Perhaps your mother has been wanting to get someone for a very long time, for example, a dog, cat, fish or parrot.
• Some luxurious piece of clothing, like a fur coat
  or a beautiful
  evening dress
  . It will be expensive, but it will give your mother an unforgettable and priceless experience.
• Certificate
  for the salon. These could be beauty or massage salons.
• Large bouquet of flowers
  . What woman doesn't love flowers?

Religious symbolism

Both a man, a woman, and a child can be presented with religious symbols for their name day - vests, icons, amulet, etc.

Often such things are given by godparents to their godson or goddaughter. If you are giving a cross, make sure that you did not buy a Catholic cross for an Orthodox Christian.

They are quite easy to distinguish - the Catholic cross always has a four-pointed shape and a more realistic image of Christ, in contrast to the Orthodox cross, which often has a six and eight-pointed shape.

This difference is especially noticeable on large crucifixes - the Catholic crucifix places more emphasis on Christ's sacrifice, so his suffering and wounds are depicted more carefully and realistically, while the Greek crucifix emphasizes the victory of life over death.

Also pay attention to the number of nails with which the savior’s feet are nailed. On a Catholic crucifix, the legs will be nailed with one nail, and on a Greek crucifix, two.

When donating incense and icons, you need to choose an icon of the namesake saint - a person’s guardian angel. The easiest way to do this is in online stores of Orthodox symbols, where the icons are sorted.

The best gift for a priest is things from places of pilgrimage (for example, a crucifix or rosary from Jerusalem). Such a thing will certainly be appreciated.

What can you give on Angel's Day?

It is customary to give gifts for any holiday. Every person, in addition to his birthday, has a holiday of the name given to him at birth or baptism - name day. It is also customary to call this holiday the day of the angel. There is no doubt that a gift for Angel's Day should be special, corresponding to the spirit of this holiday.

In the Orthodox tradition, almost every name corresponds to the name of a saint. At christenings, a saint with a name that is closest to the child's name is chosen. Thus, a person can have two names: one given by his parents, and the second received at baptism.

So, after baptism, a person has a saint, after whom the child is named, who will protect the person throughout his life during troubles and adversity, accompany him in achievements and guide him on the true path. It turns out that every baptized person has his own guardian angel.

The name of the holiday speaks of connections with angels, the church, and saints. Traditionally, on name days, it is customary to give icons with the face of the saint after whom the person was named, while gender and age do not play a big role. It is better to purchase such an icon in a church. It can be of any size, shape, made of different materials and with different decorations.

Silver and gold pendants with the face of a saint are also often given as gifts. It is especially important to give such a gift to a child or woman. Often they give various figurines of angels made of metal, plastic, acrylic, bronze, which will fit well in any part of the house or in the corner of the desktop. Since ancient times, it has also been customary to give a personalized loaf or pie.

A gift for Angel's Day does not have to be strictly religious in nature. You need to think about the person's tastes and preferences. Children are given interesting toys, you can give a toy pet - a cat, a dog, a parrot, a hamster.

Elderly people can be given a warm down scarf, slippers, or some dishes as a gift, if we are talking about a grandmother. A set of spinners or hooks would be great for grandpa if he loves fishing. A woman or girl will be happy with a new dress or clothing accessory.

Both adults and children can find a good book. You can buy or bake a cake with your name on it. It’s worth making a little effort, thinking about what the birthday boy’s hobbies are, what he’s inspired by, what he likes, what he dreams of, and choose a worthy gift to make even the smallest dream come true.

Don’t forget about warm words, but it’s better to choose a good poem with the name of the person being honored and best wishes. Any gift on such a day will be appreciated and will make everyone around joyful and positive.
