Natalia - Martyr of Nicomedia
She was a pious Christian.
And despite prejudices
She took it and married a pagan.
Their happiness did not last long
They lived for a little over a year.
Then everything changed suddenly,
The days of martyrdom have arrived.
All Christians suffered severe persecution,
The emperor promised a reward for them.
And Natalya’s husband admired the faith,
After thinking about it, he accepted Christianity.
The wife was tormented and tortured for a long time,
She was with him until the end.
And soon after the death of the faithful
I gave my soul to the Lord God.
Peasant care -
Good harvest
Both on holidays and on weekdays -
Collect quickly.
And now Natalya
The fescue has arrived
And back to work
She called us into the fields.
Oat river,
The grain is flowing, flowing,
Feeds all of Russia
And the whole world, it is!
The oats have left the fields,
Andrey removed it with his Natalya.
And three hours, laughing, were removed from the day,
But my prayer-song is heard:
Good Natasha, I love you so much
You are always our joy, I sing your praises!
For everything that she has done, for everything that she has saved...
For the holy darling who gave us everything.
Today to all Natasha women
I will congratulate you with all my heart.
And according to tradition I will,
Of course, treat them to oats.
Oatmeal, cookies,
Pancakes, cutlets, bread -
This is the body's salvation,
But they won’t please the eye, yes.
But this is your secret -
The secret of witchcraft beauty.
Tasteless, albeit unusual,
But all the recipes are simple.
Let's go mushroom picking, rowan berries,
We need to celebrate the day
Which is not that long
(After all, the sun became too lazy to shine).
In ancient times, they gave a name that actually reflected the character of a person; today, most parents name their children according to personal whims, relying on the euphony of the surname-patronymic combination. The name Natalya is one of the most common among female names in the post-Soviet space.
Translated from Latin, it means “native”; it was usually given to girls who were gentle in character, active in activities and games, and cheerful. IN Orthodox Saints you can find 7 different holidays for Natalia, but there is only one Angel Day. Why and on what date should a woman with that name celebrate Angel and Christmas Day?
History of the name and its meaning
First, you should understand the difference between name day and angel day. In the first case, we mean the day of remembrance of the saint, i.e. Christians remember a deceased person who at one time suffered for Christ or who through his life deserved to be included in the canon. Angel's Day is the day on which the baby was baptized, i.e. Everyone who took part in the church as a child has an angel day.
Angel Day is considered the date of the child's baptism
The name is of Latin origin, most likely it was coined in the Roman Empire (“Natalis Domini”) and translated can mean “Birth”, “native” or “Birth of a new one”, all three meanings have a similar root. At the same time, historians claim that Natalya was originally a male name, like many others, but with the spread to the Slavic lands it was converted into a female one and since then the male variation has not been used.
Interesting! Modern language allows you to shorten the name and create its derivatives. This is how “Natka”, “Tasha”, “Nyuta”, “Natalla” and other options appeared. Today, derivatives or abbreviations of “Natalia” may be written in the passport, but children will still have Christmastide on the day of remembrance of Saint Natasha.

If it’s clear with Angel’s Day that it is celebrated on the day of baptism, when should a child’s name day be celebrated? In total, there are several such holidays in the Orthodox Saints:

- March 22 - The Venerable Martyr Ulyanov is venerated, and her Christmastide is celebrated by those born from February to March 22. This nun was shot by the Soviet authorities due to the slander of slanderers and for her faith in Christ.
- March 31 - nun Baklanova is venerated, who took novitiate at the Novodevichy Convent. She was sent into exile for preaching the Gospel, where she rested.
- September 8 is the main day when the Martyr of Nicomedia or fescue is remembered (due to the fact that oats are actively collected at this time). She was executed for her faith in Christ in the early 4th century.
- September 14 - Saint Kozlova, canonized only in 2004, is remembered. Name days on this day can be celebrated by girls who were born after 2004.
According to tradition, Christian women should celebrate those days of remembrance that are closest to their birthday according to the calendar. That is, those girls who were born in the period October-January and the first half of February celebrate their name day on the 11th, those whose date of birth falls on the second half of February - March 22, and 31 those who were born between the 22nd and 31st of this month .
