Names of Maxim - date of memory of his guardian angel

Interpretation of the meaning of the name Maxim, like Julius, does not require an appeal to anthroponymy - the science of names. Julius - born in July, Maxim - the maximum or, which is more suitable for man, the greatest.

Famous Maxims

With the greatest of all somehow it is difficult, but from the great, Maxim Gorky is instantly remembered. People of the older generation can name Maxim Perepelitsu, an unusually popular one, like Ivan Brovkin, a movie hero. Fans of cinematography will remember Max von Sydow. And absolutely everyone knows the machine gun "Maxim".

Unfortunately, none of them has anything to do with this holiday, as the namesakes of Maxim. Gorky at baptism was called Alexei (Maxim - a pseudonym), the registration data of the quail can only be guessed, and the name of the great Swedish artist Sydov can only attest to his internationality. The machine gun is named after the name of its creator.

The number of celestial patrons in Maxim

Children are called in our time, guided by personal choice, but baptize almost all. Because in this way the child receives a heavenly patron, and a rare parent will refuse this protection. At baptism, the child is selected the name of the namesake of the saint, whose day of memory coincides or is close to the day of the church rite.

Looking in the "Svyattsy" - the church calendar - you can find out when the name day of Maxim or someone else. Gorky's namesake has such days in every year 31. It's impressive. In each month there are 2-3 of them. Unencumbered remained only June, but in November falls 5 days of the angel. All these holidays, except for the main ones, are called "small name-days".

Such an abundance is explained by the fact that dates of not only Orthodox saints, but also great ascetics of Christianity in general are included in the church calendar. In ancient Rome the name Maxim was popular, there was a dynasty wearing it. Until Christianity became an official state religion, its followers were persecuted. The tortured who had suffered the painful death, grateful descendants, they were ranked as saints. Therefore, celebrating the name day of Maxim is first of all paying tribute to the saints bearing this name.

The martyrs and the righteous bearing this name

Righteous and martyrs, for Christ's sake, holy fools - they are all mentioned in the "Svyattsy". Of particular note is the Monk M. Grek, whose date of memory is February 3 and July 4 (the day of canonization and the day of the relic's acquisition). He translated into Russian the Psalter and the Book of Acts of the Apostles.

However, not all saints mentioned in the month of the month, there are exhaustive data. Some dates on which the name-day of Maximus belongs according to the church calendar, indicate, besides the name, only that he was a martyr (martyr). There are also two Maximilians in this list - Constantinople and Melitin, a patriarch and a passion-bearer for the faith.

The names of Maxim, whose date falls on March 19, April 2, May 13, November 5 and 10, will force the bearers of the name, whose angel days fall on these numbers, to spend some time to learn about their heavenly patrons at least something. But this knowledge is expensive. Sometimes, after living a specific period of time, wondering what your guardian angel is, a person can look at his fate in a new way.

Is it not interesting to know who are the holy fools of Christ for the sake of? These are people deliberately doomed to vagrancy, cold and hunger, these are wandering monks and devotees of religion. For example, Maxim Totsky, whose memory date falls on January 29. Being the rector of the church, he consciously became a fool for Christ's sake. Without a constant piece of bread and clothes, he led such a way of life for 40 years, lived to a very old age and was canonized by the Orthodox Church. In any case, looking into the church calendar and having learned everything about Maxim's name-days, the bearer of the name will not be upset about the number of his namesakes among Christian saints.

Days on which the commemoration of two righteous people falls

There are metropolitans, philosophers, writers and translators, but the great majority are martyrs and martyrs. This speaks of the strength of the human spirit, of the love of the Lord, of the fact that it is not bad to have such a heavenly patron. Therefore, the question arises of the guardian angel, about what the name-day name can mean for you . Maxim (or "the greatest") can tell a lot about himself. There are dates on which the days of the memory of the two saints fall: February 3 and 12, April 23, August 26. This means that Maxim, who was baptized that day, receives two heavenly patrons.
