Angel Tamara Day

The day of the angel of a representative of a beautiful article with the name Tamara is celebrated on the day she was baptized.

It is with the sacrament of Baptism that the tradition of celebrating the day of the Angel is connected. While a person is not yet baptized, he does not have his own Guardian Angel. But after the sacrament, he is given a Holy Angel for life, who will accompany the Christian on all his life paths, invisibly help him, support and offer prayers to the Lord for him.

On the day of his baptism, a person will celebrate Angel Day throughout his life.

According to the church rite, a person celebrates the name day on the day when the commemoration of the saint is celebrated, after whom he is named.

Our ancestors sacredly revered Orthodox church traditions, and the day of the Angel always coincided with the name day. A person was baptized earlier immediately on his birthday, while the baby was named strictly according to Christmastide - the memory of which Saint, or Saint was celebrated on that day, was the name of the newborn.

Nowadays, this tradition is very rarely observed. Usually, a person is immediately called the name that his parents chose for him, then he is baptized (and often they give another name, exclusively Orthodox). So it turns out that a person celebrates separately a birthday, Angel Day, name days, which can fall on completely different days.

Usually, to which date Tamara's birthday is closer, this date is the name day according to the church calendar.

The life of the holy queen Tamara

The future Queen Tamara was born in Georgia in the family of Tsar George III. At this time, the country was already Christian and the tsar and his beautiful queen Burdukhan were deeply religious people. They ruled justly and honored the laws of the Lord in everything. The people loved and respected them. Only one circumstance overshadowed their happiness - the absence of children.

They prayed long and hard to the Lord that He would give them children. Their prayers were answered, the royal spouses had a beautiful daughter, who was named Tamara. The girl grew up as a universal favorite. Everyone, without exception, loved her for her meek disposition, modesty, and obedience.

The princess was brought up in the strict traditions of the Orthodox faith, sacredly honored the Laws of the Lord. When her mother died, and then the king, Tamara was a young woman. The nationwide love for her was so great that the people put together whole stories about her, which described her wisdom, mercy, love for the common people, justice and devotion to the Christian faith. She built temples, took care of the cultural development of the country, patronized widows and orphans.

When, after the death of her father, Tamara ascended the throne, she said that from now on she would become the father of orphans and the mother of widows. She has never really betrayed this promise for all the years of a wise and just government of the country.

The reign of Queen Tamara is called the "Golden Age" of the country. Georgia in this fertile time for it reached the peak of its prosperity, glory and power.

Immediately after the coronation, the queen first of all called the wise confessors, theologians, bishops and the priesthood. At the Council, she, together with them, decided to defend the purity of faith and observance of church canons with all her might. She put an end to the strife and turmoil in the spiritual plan that took place.

The queen's first marriage was unsuccessful. At the insistence of the supreme husbands, she married the son of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky. But her husband turned out to be a vigilant drunkard and rude. After two years of admonition, she had to part with him.

For the sake of the heir, she had to marry a second time. This time David (Ossetian prince) became the husband of the great queen. In this marriage, Tamara was happy.

During the years of her reign, she managed not only to build a powerful and prosperous country, to strengthen the Orthodox canons, but also to successfully suppress the invasion of Caliph Abu Bakr, and a little later Sultan Rukn - ad - Din.

What do Holy Queen Tamara pray for?

Saint Tamara helps in many cases. They pray to her for the gift of the mind in order to properly manage. Orthodox leaders honor her as a faithful helper in being fair with their subordinates, helping them and listening to the needs of the poor.

Queen Tamara also find her soul mate and successfully marry, or get married.

She also helps with childbirth. Often childless married couples appeal to her, who soon rejoice in a successful childbirth.

The main thing is to pray to the Holy Queen Tamara sincerely and from the bottom of my heart and it is natural to ask her Holy help only in good deeds.

Akathist Tamara of the Queen of Georgia

In the world, her name was Maria Satsi. She was born in 1876 in the Estland province into an Estonian family, which by religion belonged to the Lutherans. When she was 7 years old, she became an orphan and was assigned to an orphanage at the Iebah women's community. In 1892 it was transformed into the Holy Dormition Convent. In 1895 she was clothed in a cassock, and then in an apostle.

In 1898 she was transferred to Kazan. There she sang in the kliros in one of the monasteries of the city. After 4 years, she transferred to the Kosmodemyanovsky Trinity Monastery, where she became a monk with the name Tamara. A little later, she was appointed treasurer in the Cheboksary community, which soon received the status of a separate monastery. In 1924, mother Tamara was elevated to the rank of abbess. After 14 years, the monastery was closed, and she settled in the house of her assistant in the management of the monastery, Anastasia Timofeevna. I prayed and fasted a lot, read the Holy Scriptures. In 1940, she was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Two years later, she died in custody from heart disease.

After the baptism of Russia, Orthodox Christians began to conduct the rite of baptism of infants, giving them the names of Orthodox saints recognized as such by the church. This is how the calendar was compiled. They recorded the names of the saints and martyrs, the date of veneration of their memory and the brief meaning of the name. Now the name of the newborn depended on which of the Orthodox calendar days he was born on.

According to the traditions of Ancient Russia, the child was to be christened on the eighth day after birth. During this time, the name was selected for the crumb according to the church calendar. If the birthday fell on an "empty" day (when no saint's name day was celebrated) or the name according to the calendar was dissonant, the churchmen suggested the names of the saints for the next three days. This is what Theophan the Recluse bequeathed, adding the possibility of naming a child after those saints whose name days were celebrated in the interval between "bodily" birth and baptism.

The Orthodox mesyaslov (or the Orthodox calendar of names, or saints) has been formed for several centuries in a row and continues to actively replenish to this day. The tradition of church naming of a newborn is characteristic of Russia. Religion has always existed in the minds of our people, even in atheistic Soviet times. And why not give your child a name-talisman? After all, this is exactly what our ancestors did, this is how the Indian tribes call their children, believing in the destiny of fate and living in complete unity with nature. The logic of naming children by the names of saints who were born at the same time is also captivating. And even at baptism it will not be necessary to change the worldly form of the name.

In general, there are a lot of pluses. However, many also see shortcomings in naming children according to the church calendar. They say that the Orthodox namebook is very monotonous. This is not entirely true. It's just that some of the outdated forms of names are not entirely suitable for modern realities, and it will be difficult for a child to live with such a name.

The tradition of naming a newborn according to the Orthodox calendar is being revived, but not all parents understand its essence correctly. Faith in recent years has sometimes become a trend of fashion, and not a true feeling. The child is called those same "dissonant" names according to the calendar, in order to distinguish him from the crowd. Consequently, the child receives a name, the naming of which was so tried to avoid in ancient times.

Orthodox traditions are a part of our life, because it is not for nothing that the words "name", "name" and "baptize" are perceived by us as synonyms. If parents choose a name for their baby that is not indicated in the month (Orthodox calendar), church officials can choose a name that is consonant with the worldly, or pick it up on the day of baptism. So, it happened that Daria, according to church tradition, was baptized as Evdokia, and Alice as Alexandra. In any case, an Orthodox Christian must have both a secular name and an ecclesiastical name with which he will appear before God.

When choosing a name in accordance with Orthodox traditions, you must have a name day calendar (the main days of veneration of saints) for the year of your baby's birth. In it you can find a list of the names of the most significant saints revered in Orthodoxy with an individual distinction between name day and meaning. There is also the following list of saints in Orthodoxy, whose names one can call children: Timothy, Bonifaktius, Ignatius, Phylogenia, Leonty, Nikita, Philaret, Macarius, Theoktist, Claudia, Anisia, Theodore and Theodora, Melania, Caesarea, Arkhip, Andronicus, Micah, Anthony, Vasilisa, Pachomius, Arseny, Makar, Savva, Anania, Nikifor, Sofia, Mstislava, etc.

The name day is the day of veneration of the saint after whom the child is named. In ancient times, name days were celebrated "with the whole world", without attaching such a majestic significance to the worldly birthday of a person. Since there are a lot of saints and martyrs with the same names in the modern Orthodox calendar, it is customary to distinguish between the celebration of the name days of saints with an identical name. For example, Michael's name day should be celebrated by the date closest to the date of "bodily" birth. The name of the baby is chosen in the same way.

Today, some of us do not understand the essence of the concept of "name days" and celebrate them all year round, as soon as we see the name of the saint on the calendar. But this is wrong. The name day, like the birthday, is the same for a person. Each of us celebrates only those name days that honor the saint in whose honor the name was given. The rest of the saints have nothing to do with the celebration of the name day. Example: the name day of St. Alexander occurs in the Orthodox calendar more than ten times. But a person celebrates the name day of that saint or martyr on whose day he was born (physically and spiritually). The rest of the Alexandras have nothing to do with him.

In addition, the church distinguishes between the concepts of "patron saint" and "guardian angel". In the first case, we are talking about the saint, in whose name the child was baptized. This saint becomes the heavenly patron of the baby and the protector of his whole life. But the guardian angel is given to a newborn at birth, at, so to speak, bodily birth. God gives a guardian angel to everyone, regardless of whether a person is baptized.

It is interesting that people born during the Soviet era managed to get church names and even get baptized. More often than not, the ordinance of baptism was performed at home or in remote areas with relatives. The priest came to the house privately and baptized the child in accordance with the calendar drawn up a long time ago. Now in Russia there is freedom of choice of religion and naming of children, but the traditions of generations are still strong, so adhering to Christian principles will not hurt. This will allow you to make the right choice not only of the name for the child, but also of his future fate.

Tamara is translated from Hebrew as Phoenician palm. It is believed that the origin of the name is associated with the biblical name Tamar in Hebrew sounds like Tamar. This name was often given to girls in memory of the foremother of Christ, as well as the kings of Straw and David. The name came to Soviet culture from Georgia and Armenia, it was in the fifties that it was most popular. The name is rare nowadays. The form of the name in Russia has not changed, therefore it is in the native Georgian version. In history, the name Tamar is firmly associated with the time when the Georgian kingdom reached its peak. Princess Tamar was the daughter of George III and the Ossetian Burdukhan. The girl was raised by her aunt, the wife of a Russian prince, who soon died. After that, she left for her homeland because of the internecine war that broke out on the territory of Georgia. When the girl's father dealt with his uncle and cousin, the line of men in the family ceased to exist. For this reason, George III crowned his daughter. Together they ruled the country until his death. Later, she remained on the throne alone, surrounded by many enemies. The kingdom of Tamar was marked by the formation of a cathedral, a decrease in peasant service, as well as mercy. During the years of the reign of the young queen, not a single person was executed, and corporal punishment was abolished.
The forms of the name sound like Toma, Tomochka, Tamriko, Tamuna and others.

Name characteristics.

As a child, little Tamara is a beautiful and sweet girl. She is inherent in curiosity, extraordinary activity, she seeks to know and embrace everything with her eyes.

For this reason, a woman can forgive some of the shortcomings of her beloved, she loves to be led and acts as her husband says. But at the same time, all events in the family are committed with her tacit agreement. The saying “the husband is the head and the wife is the neck” exactly reflects Tamara's tactics.
