Who has a birthday on April 8

On April 8, name days are celebrated for boys named Stepan, Gabriel, Vasily, as well as for girls named Anna, Alla and Larisa.

In accordance with church calendar for 2019, April 8 is the day when it is customary to remember the Archangel Gabriel. Since ancient times, many have believed that today it is better not to start new business, since all of them are doomed to failure. But the birthday people received the strongest protector and patron.

Now the name day is not the most popular holiday, but for those people who were named after the saint, this is still an important event.

The lucky ones who combine Angel Day and birthday have the opportunity to thank the patron and even ask him for something.

Saints endow female and male names with special characteristics: for example, the archangel Gabriel gives his wards wisdom, strength, courage and determination.

The Bible tells us about archangels who served God. The most famous was the name of Gabriel, called the Annunciator because he brought good news to people. The Lord sent him to people when they needed an explanation of mysteries and visions.

He appeared to Moses and told him about the creation of the world and about the first man, Adam. It was Gabriel who foretold Virgin the imminent birth of the Son of God. He also told the Mother of God about her imminent resettlement to heaven.

The name Alla comes from the Greek word "allos" which means "another", "next".

In our perception, the name Alla is associated with the Eastern term "scarlet". The scarlet color is a symbol of victory and love. The principle of dominance inherent in the name often leads to the fact that many perceive Alla with hostility, they believe that she is walking over corpses.

But scarlet is not only the color of aggression. Scarlet was also a scarlet flower from a fairy tale. So there are two sides hidden in the owner of the name - on the one hand, she appears as an aggressive and businesslike lady, and on the other, she is similar delicate flower, more beautiful than which there was nothing in the world. Which side Allah will turn to the world depends only on her, the desire and mood to be, to create, to create. But if Alla is gloomy and unsociable all the time and complains about a hard life, it means that her aggressive side has prevailed in her.

Alla can make a Talisman of the name, which is called "alusha". The origin of the name Talisman of the name is due to the fact that it is made on red fabric. The meaning of the Name Talisman is to attract friendship not only to Alla, but also to those people to whom she will give the Name Talisman. Alla should do it on the full moon, dressed in robes of the color of a crimson sunset. At night, on scarlet silk, she must sew two scarlet beads, imagining how friends are heading towards her or to the person for whom she makes the Talisman of the name. Then fold the silk so that it represents a small ball. Everything, the Talisman of the name is ready.

The more the Talisman of the name Allah gives, the more good will return to her.

Red flowers dream of good luck.

Larisa - translated from Latin "seagull". Like a bird, Larisa is trying to soar to the heavens, bypassing the laws of gravity and gravitation. Not everyone remembers Jonathan Livingston's Seagull by Richard Bach, and often, by the end of their lives, they are unable to even dream - their heart seems to be "overgrown with a crust", and it is difficult for Larisas to have girlfriends in their mature years. Many things become indifferent to Larisa, people seem boring, and loneliness is a normal state. Attempts to break out of the vicious circle rarely lead Laris to the occult - they remain materialists until the end of their days.

Meditation on a name day with the help of the constellation Bird of Paradise will help Larissa to get rid of tense situations. To receive powers, one must imagine this constellation. Larisa can feel how the rays of the constellation destroy bad energies and give good powers. With inhalation, light rays penetrate into the soul; with exhalation, dark rays leave.

After a 15-minute presentation of the constellation, you need to return from space to earth.

A rabbit pendant made of silver or a stone suitable for the horoscope will help Laris to navigate in life and bring their undertakings to the end. The time of the rabbit is from the new moon to the full moon, the last two days before the full moon are especially strong, these days Larissa is lucky in everything.

The name Albert comes from the Old German Athalberht or Adalbert, read "adalbert". The root Adel is translated as "noble, bright", aBerht - as "shining".

The complex name consists of two popular names - the female Adele, Adela, translates as "noble", and the name Bert, Bert, which has a male and female form. The name Albert includes the power of three names: Berta, Berta and Adele.

The name, consisting of several names, has great energy and indicates the nobility of origin. That's just in modern England, the name is considered "farm", so called boys and girls from the outskirts. Alberts and Albertines often do not even suspect what a noble name their parents gave them.

Horoscope for those born on April 8

Every year April 8 Orthodox Church celebrates the day of memory of the Great Martyr Larisa Gotfskaya. This young virgin, with her courage and boundless faith in Christ, received the crown of holiness and, together with other saints of God, was rewarded with eternal life. On this day, all women bearing the name Larisa accept congratulations - Orthodox name days are usually celebrated on the day of memory of their heavenly patroness.

A young Christian woman from a country of pagans

In the 4th century, the Goths lived on the territory of modern Romania, and their whole country was called Gothia. They were under the rule of the Roman Empire, in which Christianity had already won. Despite the fact that the majority of the Goths were pagans, the Christians who lived among them enjoyed sufficient freedom to build churches and worship in them.

However, the hidden hatred of pagan fanatics at times broke out. Hard times for Christians began with the coming to power of the Gotthian king Atanarih. He hated all who believed in Christ and subjected them to all kinds of persecution. At that time, a young beautiful Christian girl lived in Gothia, who bore the name Larisa. Name day on October 8 is celebrated on the day of her memory.

Threats to the lives of Christians

Larisa's parents were Christians, and from childhood they instilled in her love for the true God and the idea that for the sake of Him one can sacrifice everything in the world, even life itself. When, in 375, the persecution of Christians took on a particularly severe form, attending services became dangerous. However, Larisa, having cast aside her fear, continued to go to church regularly.

And then one day, when she came to the temple and, standing at the very entrance, indulged in prayer, the doors suddenly flung open. Turning around, Larisa saw a warrior standing on the threshold. Behind him was a wagon, in which stood the figure of the pagan idol Wotan. The warrior shouted to the whole temple that everyone who came out to bow to the idol would remain alive, and all those who refused would immediately die.

Death in the name of God

Seeing Larisa and marveling at her beauty, he offered her to freely leave the church without any conditions. However, the courageous Christian woman, seeing that none of those present in the temple moved, preferred to die together with everyone in the glory of the name of Jesus Christ. The enraged warrior slammed the door, after which the church was set on fire. Three hundred Christians who were inside, and Larisa herself, died in the fire.

The Holy Orthodox Church honors the memory of all those who gave their lives for the glory of Christianity. Larisa's name day is April 8th. This is one of the days on which their bright names are commemorated during worship. Holy Great Martyr, having found eternal life at the Throne of God, became a guardian angel for those who received her name in holy baptism. Therefore, Larisa's name day is celebrated on the day of her memory. This is a tradition fanned down by centuries.

Celebrating the name day of Larisa, it is impossible not to pray to the heavenly patroness herself, and not to ask her blessings and help in everyday affairs. It is generally accepted that it protects from committing rash acts, and thus relieves many disappointments in life. In addition, as a servant of God, standing at the Holy Throne, she can pray to the Lord to send down everything that will be good for people.

History of the name Larisa

It is known about the origin of this name itself that it is formed from the name of the city of Larissa, which was once in Greece. It is known from mythology that this was the name of one of the nymphs - the granddaughter of the god of the seas, Poseidon. There is a legend that once she was playing ball and, having stumbled, fell into the river Peney. On the spot where this happened, the city was built, named after her.

This name in Greek means "swallow". It is known that in Russia, Larisa, as well as the owners of all other names, began to celebrate their name days only in the 17th century. Statistics over the past two centuries show that in Moscow at birth, about three girls out of every thousand newborns were called that, in other cities there were slightly more - about seven, and in rural areas their number increased to ten.

Qualities inherent in Larissa

Speaking about what qualities are most characteristic of Laris, it should be noted that the owners of this name, as a rule, are distinguished by a submissive character. It often helps to avoid conflicts in family life and in the production team, but at the same time often becomes the cause of actions that later have to be regretted, which could have been avoided by showing firmness. First of all, this applies to matters of personal life.

Women with the name Larisa are often successful in areas such as philology, linguistics and programming. This is explained by their outstanding creative talent. One more feature is their love for children, to whom they are able to devote their whole lives. In this case, it is important to note that we are talking not only about our own children, but also about strangers.

Thanks to this quality, women with this name often become good teachers and educators. And although Larisa's name day is celebrated only once a year, their heavenly patroness abundantly sends them love and patience, which are so necessary both for working with children and for personal happiness.
