Let us note the patron saints named Cyril, whom the church remembers on certain days of the year.

Kirill's name day on January 31 - who are the patrons of the name?

Cyril of Alexandria was born in 376 into a famous and pious Christian family. In his youth he studied many philosophical and secular sciences. But most of all, Cyril strove to learn Christian truths and study the Holy Scriptures. In 412, after the passing of his uncle Patriarch Theophilos, he took his place and remained in it until 444, that is, until his death. Cyril waged an ongoing struggle against paganism and led the opposition to Nestorianism. After his death he left many unique works. The name day of Cyril, named after this saint, falls on January 31 and June 22. It is on these days that the church remembers Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria.

The remembrance day of another saint falls on January 31 - Schemamonk Cyril of Radonezh. This saint lived in the XIII-XIV centuries in the Rostov principality, was a boyar and owned a large estate. Despite their wealth, Kirill and his wife Maria did not neglect simple peasant labor, and from birth they instilled in their children the love of Christ. Their son Bartholomew, better known as Sergius of Radonezh, became abbot of the Russian land and was recognized as a wonderworker of all Rus'. In old age, Cyril and Maria took monastic vows at the Khotkovo Monastery near Radonezh, where they died in 1337. St. Cyril's feast day falls on January 31 and October 11.

Cyril of Sevastia - March 22

Martyr Cyril is one of the forty Sebastian martyrs, especially revered by the Orthodox Church. On this day, March 22, it is allowed to ease the strictest Lent. It is on this date that the name day of Cyril, named after the mentioned saint, is celebrated.

Sebastian Christian warriors suffered martyrdom in 320 in the city of Sebastia. Contrary to Constantine the Great's decree on freedom of religion, the military leaders forced them to sacrifice to idols. When the soldiers refused, they were tortured and then burned. After this, the martyrs appeared to Bishop Peter of Sebaste, who collected the remains of the soldiers and buried them with honor.

Cyril of Jerusalem - March 31

Patriarch Kirill, whose memory the church honors on March 31, was born in Jerusalem in 315. From childhood he was distinguished by Christian piety. It is known that during a terrible famine in Jerusalem, he sold all his belongings to help those in need. In his youth he became a monk, then became a priest, and after some time an archbishop.

Throughout his life, he was expelled from the city several times for his Christian beliefs. He spent about 17 years in exile. After himself, Cyril left numerous writings and works that played a major role in the development of Christian teaching throughout the world. The last years of his life were the calmest. Cyril died in 386. With the blessing of the Pope, Patriarch Kirill was numbered among the Teachers of the Church. The church remembers his name on March 31st.

He was at the court of the Rostov prince Konstantin II, and then Konstantin III. Saint Cyril accompanied them to the Horde more than once.
From the life of St. Sergius, we know that during the Divine Liturgy, before the birth of their son, righteous Mary and everyone who prayed nearby heard the baby’s voice three times before reading the Gospel, during the Cherubic Song, and also at the moment when the priest said "Holy of Holies."
After some time, their son Bartholomew was born. The parents made a promise to the Lord that they would dedicate the boy to Him. From his very first days, the child amazed everyone that on Wednesdays and Fridays he did not accept his mother’s milk, and if on other days Saint Mary ate meat, the baby did the same. When the Monk Mary noticed this, she herself stopped eating meat.
Saints Cyril and Mary were known for their pious lives. They helped the poor, and also always received wandering prayer workers. And the holy couple taught their children to always welcome wandering monks and monks into their home.
Unfortunately, not much information has been preserved about the life of Saints Cyril and Mary. It is known that in 1328 they moved to Radonezh from Rostov. Near this city there was the Khotkovsky Intercession Monastery. In those days it was inhabited by both female nuns and men.
Saints Cyril and Mary accepted monasticism and became inhabitants of this monastery. A few years later they peacefully departed to the Lord.

Like most popular names in the Russian language, the name Kirill came to us from ancient Greece. This happened as a result of the adoption of the Orthodox faith in Kievan Rus. Translated from Greek the meaning of the name Kirill (Κύριλλος) means "lord" or "lord".

Characteristics of the name Kirill

Kirill, realizing over time the peculiarities of his character, shows it less and less in vain. Adult Kirill is calm and at the same time cheerful.

Another characteristic of Kirill that can interfere in life is seriousness. Often taking even small things seriously. he creates conflict situations out of nowhere.

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 the new time calculation system, is celebrated:

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.

Winter Christmastide

Do you know in honor of which saint the name Cyril is now used? Name days are not just a reason for congratulations, but also a time to honor the memory of your guardian angel.

Memorial Day of St. Cyril of Chelmogorsk, famous for converting many pagans to Christianity. He also built a temple and monastery in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord.

On January 31, we honor St. Cyril of Alexandria - one of the most influential figures in church history, a gifted theologian, an extraordinary and energetic person. It was he who fought with all his might against the heresy of Nestorius, a Syrian who taught that God is the spirit that inhabited Jesus Christ, and Mary gave birth not from the Lord, but from an ordinary person, and therefore should be called the Mother of Christ.

Kirill's name day, which falls on February 8, is the memory of the Hieromartyr Kirill, Metropolitan of Kazan and Sviyazhsk. He was a very charismatic person and attracted people to him like a magnet. He was listened to and revered for his love and unwavering faith in the Lord, as well as for his straightforward statements and inner light. Kirill of Kiev was one of the first to introduce popular singing at church services in order to more fully introduce people to the church.

On February 17, the memory of St. Kirill of Novoezersk is venerated, who built two churches: in the name of the Most Holy Theotokos and in the name of the Resurrection of Christ.

Cyril's name day, celebrated on February 27, is the day of remembrance of St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril, the Slovenian teacher, who, together with his brother Methodius, invented our alphabet.

Spring holidays

March 22 is the day on which we pay tribute to one of the forty warrior-martyrs, Cyril of Sebaste, who accepted a brutal death in the name of Christ. He, along with 39 soldiers, was stripped naked and driven into an ice-bound lake by the pagan Romans. A bathhouse was heated nearby, in which you can warm up only by renouncing Christ. After a while, the Romans saw that the soldiers were not freezing, and in anger they broke their legs and burned them alive.

March 31 is the name day of Cyril of Jerusalem, a saint and archbishop who dedicated his life to the fight against the Arian and Macedonian heresies.

On May 11, the saint is venerated - a wonderful preacher and an outstanding writer who accomplished many feats for the glory of the church.

May 17 is the name day of Kirill Alfanov, who, together with his brothers, founded the Sokolnitsky monastery in Novgorod.

Summer and autumn holidays

June 22 is the day of remembrance of St. Kirill of Belozersky, one of the most significant ancient Russian saints. Kirill Belozersky is not only the creator of one of the most authoritarian statutes, but also the founder of the Belozersky monastery.

July 22 is the name day of the Hieromartyr Cyril, who was bishop of Gortynia for 50 years. He was beheaded at a very old age for his Christian faith.
