It is said that the name of a personinfluence on how his fate will develop. Of course, each of us scrupulously buys his happiness and believes only in his strength, but the wisdom of his ancestors should not be discounted. History knows a lot of cases when people changed the names given to them at birth, to others, and their lives changed radically. Is it not proof that the name is inextricably linked with fortune? That is why his choice should not be treated simply as a set of sounds, but as a symbol of luck, happiness and harmony. In this article we will talk about when to celebrate Angel Day to people named Kirill.
Between the two calendars
Many people celebrate Christmas holidays, while not knowing what kind of holiday it is. In fact, it is a day in which the memory of that saint is honored, in honor of which a person is baptized.
Names of Cyril are celebrated more than once a year. The day of the angel among people with this name happens almost in each of 12 months, and besides several times. This is due to the fact that all Orthodox believers in the Lord and the Savior, use at once two calendars - Julian (old) and Gregorian (one that is now used everywhere).
The Julian calendar was used in Russia until 1918year and the day when the Bolsheviks, having overthrown the old authority and rejected the church, introduced a new Gregorian calendar. In our time, the difference in dates for these two calendars is 13 days. Thus, the name day of Cyril according to the Orthodox calendar in accordance with the new system of calculating time is noted:
- 31 January;
- 8, 17 and 27 February;
- 22 and 31 March;
- 3 and 11 April;
- 11, 17 and 24 May;
- 22nd of June;
- 22 July;
- 20 November;
- 21 December.
Before the introduction of the Gregorian (that is, modern) calendar of the birthday of Cyril on the church calendar, noted:
- 18 and 26 January;
- 4 and 14 February;
- 9, 18, 21 and 29 March;
- 28 April;
- 4 and 11 May;
- the 9th of June;
- 9 July;
- 7 November;
- 8 December.
If you compare all of the above dates, you can see that now Cyril's name-days on the Orthodox calendar come 13 days later than it was almost 100 years ago.
