History and ancient rituals of Demetrius Day
The name day of the name is associated with the ancient holiday - Demetrius Day. This day is wide celebrated by our ancestors on November 8. It was this date that was considered the time when autumn finally came into its own. Dmitriev's day, falling on Saturday, was held in special esteem. The deceased were remembered, funerals were held for them, and all the soldiers who died on the Kulikovo field in the battle with the Mongols were remembered.
In the Orthodox calendar, November 8 is the date when the saint was venerated Dmitry Mirotochets (Solunsky). They pray to him and praise him, asking for courage and endurance, for the healing of eye diseases, including for blind people to gain sight. The soldiers prayed to him to grant them strength and courage on the battlefield. November 8th also marked the end of the autumn mating season. Then there was a break and the weddings were tried to take place before November 8th.
In Rus' they were very respectful of the day of remembrance of the holy great martyrs. Often church service took place in the presence of the king himself, which speaks of the importance of this day for our ancestors.
Remembrance Day was established by the Orthodox Church on October 26/November 8. Demetrius of Constantinople, martyr
Remembrance Day was established by the Orthodox Church on August 9/22. In the first half of the 8th century, in the very center of Constantinople, many Christians suffered at the hands of their compatriots. Among them was Saint Demetrius, who courageously defended the relic of his hometown- an icon of the Savior. The image was on the “Copper” gate for 300 years. But then the emperor Leo the Isaurian, who was an iconoclast, came to power. He ordered icons to be removed from churches. One of the soldiers put up a ladder, intending to carry out the order and remove the icon revered by the townspeople. The people of Constantinople gathered under the gates, among whom was Saint Demetrius. They did not allow the sacrilege to happen. The ladder was pushed away and the warrior fell. At the same moment, other warriors attacked them. The commoners were killed immediately, and Demetrius and several other noble people were sent to prison. But a difficult fate awaited them there. Every day for 8 months, Saint Demetrius steadfastly endured 500 blows. Suffering did not break him, he bravely accepted martyrdom from the sword. Holy Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. Dimitry of Rostov, Metropolitan
Days of remembrance were established by the Orthodox Church on September 21/October 4, October 28/November 10. Saint Dmitry of Rostov - worldly name Daniel, was born in the village of Makarov near Kyiv in December 1651. Received higher education at the Brotherhood School at the Epiphany Church in Kyiv and became a monk early. From a young age, his spiritual virtues and hard work were highly appreciated by the highest clergy of the Little Russian and Russian Orthodox Church, especially in Little Russia, where he actively resisted the invasion of bearers of the Catholic faith who sought to oust Orthodoxy from the territory Southern Russia. He devoted 20 years of his life to writing the great work Chetya-Minea - “The Lives of the Saints”, finishing it in 1705. In addition to Chetya-Minea, he left behind many other short useful works, as well as a chronicle work, which he did not manage to finish until the end of his days. Also, Saint Dmitry of Rostov actively opposed the schism and false teaching that penetrated into Russia in early XVIII century. During his ministry, many of the most famous abbots in the history of the Orthodox Church of the largest monasteries in the South of Russia wanted Saint Dmitry to serve in their monasteries. But his fate turned out differently, and he continued his service as Metropolitan of the Rostov diocese for seven years. Seeing many violations of church order and a tendency towards heresies among the flock, at his own expense he founded a theological school at the bishop's house and took care of the education of his beloved students. Saint Dmitry of Rostov reposed in November 1732. From his incorruptible relics many came and come from miraculous healings. Based on numerous evidence April 22, 1557 Holy Synod, ranked Saint Dmitry of Rostov among the miracle workers. Demetrius of Salamis - see
Remembrance Day is established by the Orthodox Church: June 20/July 3. The holy martyr Demetrius suffered for his faith in Christ at the beginning of the 4th century, during the reign of Emperor Maximian Galerius. He was given over to torture and executed in the Cypriot city of Salamis. Dimitrian served as a deacon in the Church of the Holy Apostle Barnabas. Having heard from the martyr Aristocles the story of the Lord’s command to go to the island of Cyprus and suffer for Christ, he set off on the journey with him. For preaching Christian teaching they were tortured and executed. Personalized icons, as a rule, depict the holy great martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki. Demetrius of Skepsia (Hellespont), prince, martyr
Remembrance Day was established by the Orthodox Church on September 11/24. In the 1st century, on the shores of the Hellespont (modern Dardanelles between Turkey and Asia Minor) stood the city of Skepsia. Dmitry was the prince in him. One day local residents, pagans like himself brought the Christian Cornelius the Centurion to him for trial. Cornelius confirmed that he preached the Gospel. He also said that he himself was once a pagan, and the Apostle Peter converted him to Christ. The preacher tried to convince the prince that the truth is in the faith of Christ. But his words were of no use. Then Dimitri ordered to take him to pagan temple and be tortured there. After some time, the prince was informed that the temple collapsed as soon as the praying Cornelius was brought to it. Not knowing what kind of execution to come up with for his captive, the angry ruler ordered the preacher to be imprisoned. Returning to the palace, Dimitri found neither his wife nor children at home. Their search led to a destroyed temple. The prince realized that his family had died under the rubble. But at that same moment, someone reported that voices were heard from under the stones. Demetrius ran to prison and told Cornelius that he would believe in Christ if he saved his family. The preacher approached the ruins and began to pray. When the prince saw his loved ones alive and unharmed, he released the preacher. Demetrius and his family were baptized. When the pagans found out about this, they imprisoned them and kept them there until their death. Personalized icons, as a rule, depict the holy great martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki. Dimitry of Uglich and Moscow, Tsarevich Tsarevich Dmitry became famous in the history of the Russian state after his death. The son of Ivan the Terrible, he was the last of the Rurik dynasty, since Fyodor Ioanych, who reigned at that time, had no heirs. It is believed that Dmitry's death was beneficial to Boris Godunov. An eight-year-old boy lived with his mother in Uglich and was the prince of this city. Like all children, he loved to spend time with other children. So on May 15, 1591, he and his friends were playing “knives.” What happened next was called by some an accident, by others - murder. Fifteen years after the appearance of False Dmitry I, another investigation was carried out. When they opened Dmitry’s grave, they saw that his relics remained incorrupt. After the body was brought to Moscow and placed in the Archangel Cathedral, numerous miracles began to occur at the tomb. The Orthodox Church, ranking Dmitry among the saints, believes he was killed on the orders of Boris Godunov. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When choosing a name for their child, today many modern parents are guided not only by its euphony and compatibility with the patronymic and surname. They (parents) are increasingly trying to adhere to Christian traditions in choosing a name for their baby.
Dmitry's name day
Happy birthday, everything is clear - this is the specific date of the birth of a new person. Next, this person should be selected and given a name. And at this stage, many parents turn to the calendar - the church calendar, which indicates the days of honoring the saints, dates religious holidays and other information. The choice of name occurs as follows: based on the date of birth, the calendar determines the day closest to the day of veneration of a saint (or saint in the case of choosing a name for a girl) and the name of this saint is chosen as the name for the child. And the day of veneration of the saint itself will now be considered a name day. But there are a number of nuances that you should pay attention to. For example, you chose the name Dmitry for a boy. By Orthodox calendar Dmitry's name day is celebrated several times a year - January 31; February 7, 9, 11, 16 and 24; April 1 and 26; 28; June 1, 5, 10, 15 and 16; 21 July; September 24; October 4, 7 and 15; November 8, 10 and 28; December 14. Which one should Dmitry consider his name day? It's quite simple. There is a concept of “big” name days and “small” name days. “Big” name days named after Dmitry, or as they are also called, main ones, are celebrated on the day of veneration of the saint who is the closest (meaning day) after his birthday. All other dates for honoring the same saint refer to “small” name days and, as a rule, are not celebrated, although this, of course, is an individual decision for everyone.
The meaning of the name DmitryHaving decided on a name, I also want to know what it means. After all, it’s no secret that a name influences both the formation of a person’s character and his entire destiny. The name Dmitry, or the church form Dimitri, has Greek roots and is interpreted differently in different sources. According to some sources, this name is translated as “fruit of the earth.” But other sources claim that the name Dmitry is associated with the name of Demeter - ancient greek goddess agriculture and fertility, and means “dedicated to Demeter.” As a rule, men named Dmitry are not arrogant and very friendly. But injustice and resentment cause a strong emotional explosion in them. Also, the owners of this name are endowed with titanic patience, endurance and efficiency, but on the other hand they are characterized by some impulsiveness and even sometimes mental instability.
Day AngelHaving dealt with the name day and the characteristics of the name, it is worth understanding the last concept - the day of the angel, 
in this particular case for the name Dmitry. According to Orthodox dogma, Angel Day is considered the day when a Guardian Angel is sent from above to a person, called to protect him (the person) from all temptations and difficulties in life. life path. Therefore, wondering what date to celebrate the day of the angel Dmitry (in in this case), remember exactly the date of the Baptism ceremony. Often parents give their child just a name they like, and at baptism they are guided by Orthodox calendar. In this case, the child may have two names - the so-called worldly and spiritual, received at baptism and with which he will live his whole life and with which he will appear before the Almighty.
In every Orthodox family there is a close, acquaintance or colleague Dmitry, who celebrates his name day once a year, popularly called the day of the angel Dmitry.
In fact, Angel's Day is the day of receiving the sacrament of Baptism, and Name Day is the day of the heavenly patron whose name a person bears.
These two holidays may not coincide in date.
The name Dmitry is common and loved in Christian countries. Beautiful and sonorous, it attracts not only with its euphony. After all, Dim’s patrons are strong-willed Christians who suffered for their faith and glorified their Fatherland.
Dmitry's name day according to the Orthodox calendar
In accordance with church rule, your name day should be considered the day of the saint with the same name as you, which is closest to your birthday. But there are many days dedicated to the famous Dmitry in the year.
In the church calendar you can see what date your Dima should celebrate his name day. This list will be given in the table below.
Let us repeat - the saint whose memorial day is closer to his birthday is considered the heavenly patron. But the Guardian Angel is given to a person at the moment of the Sacrament of Baptism.
You can ask for help and protection in your prayers from both the Guardian Angel and the Patron Saint. Everyone helps those who earnestly ask.
Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica
Dmitry of Thessalonica was born into the family of a Roman official who was in the service of the emperor. The boy's parents were secret Christians. The child's father and mother baptized the baby secretly from the authorities. From birth, the child imbibed a love for Christian teaching and was an ardent believer.
After the death of his father, the young man donated his inheritance to the poor and made a firm decision to preach. Dmitry knew that he would not escape the wrath of the emperor, who was a pagan. For himself, the young man chose the feat of fasting and prayer and was preparing to accept the crown of martyrdom. When the emperor was informed about the Christian preacher, he gave the order to imprison him.
Later, the emperor forced Dmitry to fight in the arena. Liy, the emperor’s favorite fighter, was chosen as his opponent. In a fierce battle, Dmitry defeated the imperial slave and thereby signed his own death warrant. Early in the morning after the battle, the preacher was killed by the imperial guard.
His holy relics began to flow myrrh in the 7th century, as contemporaries wrote about, and many miracles and healings also occurred.
