They say that a person's name has a huge impact on how his fate will turn out. Of course, each of us meticulously forges our own happiness and believes only in our own strengths, but the wisdom of our ancestors should not be discounted. History knows many cases when people changed the names given to them at birth to others, and their lives changed dramatically. What is not proof that a name is inextricably linked with fortune? That is why its choice should be treated not just as a set of sounds, but as a symbol of good luck, happiness and harmony. In this article we will talk about when to celebrate Angel Day for people named Kirill.

Between two calendars

Many people celebrate Christmas time without knowing what kind of holiday it is. In fact, this is a day on which the memory of the saint for whom a person is named at baptism is honored.

Kirill's name day is celebrated more than once a year. People with this name have Angel Day in almost every 12 months, and moreover, several times. This is due to the fact that all Orthodox believers in the Lord and Savior use two calendars at once - the Julian (old) and the Gregorian (the one that is now used everywhere).

The Julian calendar was used in Rus' until 1918 and the day when the Bolsheviks, having overthrown the old government and rejected the church, introduced a new one. In our time, the difference in dates according to these two calendars is 13 days. Thus, Cyril’s name day according to the Orthodox calendar in accordance with new system time calculations are noted:

  • January 31;
  • February 8, 17 and 27;
  • March 22 and 31;
  • April 3 and 11;
  • May 11, 17 and 24;
  • 22nd of June;
  • July 22;
  • 20 November;
  • 21 December.

Before the introduction of the Gregorian (that is, modern) calendar, Cyril’s name day was celebrated according to the church calendar:

  • January 18 and 26;
  • February 4 and 14;
  • March 9, 18, 21 and 29;
  • April 28;
  • May 4 and 11;
  • the 9th of June;
  • July 9;
  • November 7;
  • December 8th.

If you compare all of the above dates, you can see that now Cyril’s name day according to the Orthodox calendar comes 13 days later than it was almost 100 years ago.

Origin of the name and its meaning

The name Cyril came to us from ancient Greece. This name is translated as “little lord”, “lord”. There are also sources claiming that given name comes from the Persian language and is translated as “sun”.

A person named Kirill can be described as a man of mystery. He is secretive not only in society, but also remains so in his close circle. It is impossible to predict people with this name, even if you have known them for several years and are sure that he will do exactly this, then you should prepare to be surprised. Because he will act in a way that no one could even think of.

Kirill with one person can be open and friendly, and a few minutes later he will already adhere to strict behavior and manner of speech. These contradictions occur not only in communication with friends or other people, but also in his behavior in business. He can take a responsible approach to fulfilling his assigned tasks and, at the peak of their implementation, become lazy and return to the very beginning.

People named Kirill are very demanding of their surroundings. If people with this name have creative talent, he will spend all his efforts in order to achieve success in his creative direction. Kirills are distinguished by excellent self-confidence and thanks to this they know how to present themselves in a particular society.

The best gift for Kirill on Angel's Day would be:

  • Icon with his guardian angel and prayers with his honor
  • A silver spoon blessed in the church. This item will protect him and his ill-wishers, and take all the evil upon himself.
  • Cross with the flesh of St. Cyril.

The story of Cyril the Hieromartyr - Archdeacon

From the stories of Blessed Theodoret it is known that Deacon Cyril became a hieromartyr because of the fight against pagan gods. He destroyed more than 10 idols of the old gods in the city of Iliopolis. He tried to enlighten the unbelievers and remove darkness from their souls. So that they can believe in the Christian God.

But the residents of Iliopol were not ready to accept new faith and were extremely unhappy that their gods were violated. The pagans tore the flesh of Deacon Cyril, they sank their teeth into him, behaved like savages, like rabid animals. After painful torture, Cyril died, but God noticed him and punished the atheists.

A few hours after Cyril was killed, the pagans began to lose their sight, everyone who tortured the deacon became blind. Their body began to become covered with abscesses and ulcers, many diseases settled in the city of Iliopolis and they did not spare anyone. After this, the deacon was canonized.

The story of Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril - Slovenian teacher

Cyril Equal to the Apostles is of Slavic origin. He received excellent education even in his youth, together with the imperial son. IN early age received the status of presbyter. When the time came to return to Byzantium, he was already a librarian in the cathedral and taught philosophy.

In Constantinople he successfully won disputes between heretics and iconoclasts. But he was drawn to some kind of seclusion, and in this he was helped by his brother Methodius, who served on Mount Olympus. In 857, the brothers were sent on a missionary campaign. On the way they received the relics of the martyr Clement. They converted the Khozar prince to Christianity and freed 200 Greek prisoners.

In 862, the brothers began the main business of their lives. They preached Christianity in the Slavic language. They translated such works as the book of the Gospel, Plastiria and many other books of spiritual content.

After returning to Rome, Kirill fell ill. His body was exhausted from travel, he was no different in his youth good health. Having accepted the schema, he died at the age of 42. He was buried in the Church of St. Clement, where he received the relics during his wanderings.
