Characteristics of the birthday boy Nikolai:

From the ancient Greek language - the winner of the peoples - Nikola, Mikola. In the old days, schismatics vehemently rejected the Greek name Nicholas as "dog", because of the ending "bark". Therefore, the only correct form was considered - Nikola, Cola. Looking at the handsome, funny, sexy Nikolai, he just wants to sing "Kolya, Kolya, Nikolai, stay at home - don't walk!"

But Kolya - at least sing, even scold, at least close the doors - he will still run away with a pretty girl. And if he also likes her, then in a day or two she will already become his legal wife. After all, Kolya is terribly in love, and also very jealous. However, he can still be forgiven a lot. It literally works day and night. During the day at the service he gives all the best "from and to", and in the evening he arranges his house. If he is a simple employee, then with his colleagues he is a “guy-shirt”.

Well, if he is the boss, then he behaves like a “specific prince”. In this case, if any of the subordinates sees him in anger, then runs away from his eyes. However, this situation, as a rule, does not last long. After all, Nikolai is essentially balanced, easy-going, friendly. At home (in the family) Nikolai is an exemplary, caring husband and father.

He simply adores his children. Allows them to do whatever they want. But Nikolai himself should restrict something, in particular, excessive alcohol consumption.

Nikolai sees himself as the center of action, relatively little feeling other forces above and below him. He overestimates his importance in the world, and it seems to him that everything around does not happen by itself, organically unfolding and guided by forces that have nothing to do with the implementation of human plans, but must certainly be done by some reasonable will.

Congratulations on Nikolai's name-days:

Do not forget to celebrate Nikolai's name day and congratulate Nikolai on the day of the angel.

So that every organ is healthy

And never be discouraged.

May health be strong
Let the sadness pass.
I wish you well
And be fun forever.

The world has changed today -
Everything around is unusual.
It's like you were born again
Be serious about the lack of time.

May it be summer today
And against the background of flocks of birds
There will be a lot of light everywhere
Our Kolochek, Nikolay.

Be stronger than everyone in the world
And wiser and smarter
And be responsible for your loved ones
And although ... you know better.

But let it be next to you
Ours stomps warmly
Let everything be as it should be
To be lucky everywhere.

Shine light for loved ones.
You are the main one today
On this holiday, Nikolai.

Nikolay, I hasten to congratulate
And wish you good luck
Set meaningful goals,
To reach them stubbornly.

Happiness may surround you
Let the heart warm the feeling
Never let them get hooked
Your soul is pain and sadness.

Congratulations to Nikolai!
We wish you many years!
Go through life with humor,
Be cheerful and not get sick.

All obstacles and adversity
Overcome with ease!
Peace of mind, peace in the family
We wish you!

Congratulations, Nikolay,
And we wish together:
Always know firmly
What is needed for happiness.

May distant dreams
Will fall in the palm of your hand
May you be lucky
And he is capable of anything.

May there always be salt and bread
Will be in your house
May success find you
To fulfill the will.

Nikolay is a very common name in Russia, and perhaps in the world too. In this article, we will talk about such a topic as the name days of the bearers of this noble Greek name, as well as the life of their main patron saint.

Name days are also known as angel day. In fact, this is a purely church holiday, and therefore the name day of Nicholas can be celebrated only by those owners of this name who were baptized with him. Alas, it does not belong to the rest. As such, the day of the angel is the day of remembrance of the saint in whose honor a person is baptized. Such a saint is considered a personal patron, protector and intercessor before God for a person.

How Angel Day is Chosen

As a rule, the day of the angel is set before baptism, when a saint is selected, in whose name the sacrament will be performed. This choice lies entirely with the person being baptized. Or, if this is a baby, the parents solve this problem for him. There are, however, cases when a person baptized in infancy does not know in memory of which of the saints of God he was named. In this case, it is allowed to choose a patron for oneself - guided either by a special sympathy for one saint or another, or by a purely formal determination procedure, which consists in the fact that according to the church calendar, the day of remembrance of his holy namesake is the closest to a person's birthday. This saint will be considered the patron saint. The same is done when parents come to church with a chosen name, but they have no idea about which of the saints to baptize the child. This is because not very religious people who baptize children simply to observe traditions or, even worse, out of superstitious fear, most often do not care who will be the patron of their children.

Nicholas name day

The day on which specific Nicholas celebrate their angel day is difficult to determine. First, because of the extreme prevalence of this name and, as a consequence, because of the huge number of saints wearing it. Judge for yourself - according to the church calendar, the name day of Nicholas can fall on at least four dozen different dates. Secondly, despite the impressive list of holy namesakes, most of Nikolaev, at least in Russia, prefer to be baptized in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, bypassing all the calendar rules for identifying saints. Usually this is due to the fact that people simply do not know any other Saint Nicholas. Below we give a list of the main saints revered in Russia, on the day of memory of which the name day of Nicholas is celebrated. However, this is far from a complete list, since there are hundreds of saints throughout the Orthodox world, widely revered in some regions and countries and practically unknown in others. Well, after the list, we will get acquainted with a short life of the most glorified saint, in whose honor the name days of Nicholas - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker are celebrated.

List of saints

All dates are in the new style. Old-style dates are given in brackets.

  • 06.10 (23.09) Martyr Nicholas from Constantinople.
  • 13.11 (30.10) Martyr Nicholas of Chios.
  • 19.12 (6.12) "Winter Nikolai". Actually, the memory of St. Nicholas is the same, the transfer of the remains of which is commemorated on May 22. On the same day, the memory of the martyr Nikolai Karaman is also celebrated.

A Brief Life of Saint Nicholas

You can talk a lot about who Archbishop Nicholas the Wonderworker was during his lifetime. But the trouble is that for more than one and a half thousand years (and he lived in the III-IV centuries), he turned from a historical figure into a mythological and archetypal character. Little remains of the real personality of this saint, who became the prototype of Santa Claus - stories about fantastic miracles and several vivid historical information collected from the biographies of various bishops of the same name. Thus, the saint whom we are borrowing is a collective, idealized image, composed partly - from the biographies of several real people, partly - from folk fantasies and folklore. It can only be asserted that he was born and lived in Asia Minor, occupied the chair of the archbishop of the city of Myra in Lycia and preached Christianity with all his might. Among other things, he is credited with such an unseemly act as the destruction of a number of pagan sanctuaries. There is no other reliable data about him.

Only once in a lifetime do parents have the opportunity to name their child. You should definitely prepare for this and discuss together those options that you like the most. Today, astrologers and other specialists talk a lot about the importance of making the right choice. In their works, you can see how the fate of a person with a certain name can develop. No one can confirm or deny the reliability of such information, but it is worth familiarizing yourself with it, perhaps some arguments in the description of the option you like will become weighty reasons for making a decision.

The male name Nikolai does not lose its popularity today. Its various variations can be heard in different countries, but it came to us, like most names from ancient Greece. The literal meaning is "conqueror of nations." In Christianity, there is a very revered Nicholas the Wonderworker, whom our ancestors loved very much, and today many go to church with their prayers and requests. The name Nikolai for Kievan Rus became relevant only after Christianity was adopted. It is about the saint that many think of when they give their son such a beautiful and ancient name. Parents really believe that the baby will have a strong and powerful protector who simply cannot leave him in difficult times and will always help to find a way out.

Little Kolya.

From early childhood, the baby will clearly show his parents that he really needs freedom. He will show character for any reason, and sometimes it will become difficult to cope with the baby. The child will grow up to be a real fidget. Parents will be calm while he is in the kindergarten, and the teachers will start waiting in the morning for the child to be taken home. He needs to be constantly occupied with something so that he can calmly sit still. Children, watching an energetic baby, take part with pleasure in all his games and unquestioningly obey the inventor and ringleader. In kindergarten, such energy will be directed into a peaceful channel and the maximum that kids can do is to arrange catch-up or hide-and-seek, but in school years it will be difficult to cope with such a child.

Complaints from teachers about disruptions to lessons or similar childishness may come up all the time until the child finishes grade 11. Despite such a lively and active character, he can still become a diligent student, especially considering that he masters almost all subjects very easily. Most often, the child has a tendency to exact objects. The mainland and physics do not seem difficult or boring to him, he is happy to solve problems and prove theorems, delighting both teachers and his parents.

The child is very cheerful and cheerful, he easily joins a new team and very quickly makes new friends and acquaintances. His hobby may include completely different and sometimes incompatible things, but he has enough attention for everything. Parents will be surprised how you can play football or wars at the same time and then calmly practice chess.

Parents must pay attention to the fact that in some cases Kolya requires increased attention to himself or begins to act pretentiously. You cannot react to such provocations, let alone satisfy all the whims of your son, otherwise he will grow up to be a very spoiled and selfish young man. Strictness in upbringing must be present, sometimes control will not be superfluous at all. The child needs to be loved and pampered, but only within certain limits, he should not become the center of family life. All resentments or even children's tears about a toy left in the store that is not particularly needed should be ignored. It's just that the child should clearly and strictly articulate why mom or dad did not buy what he asked. Show-off tantrums shouldn't bother you, as well as condemnation from other people. Parents should remember that all this is done only for the well-being of the child, and not for everyone's approval.

Love.

Nikolai will grow up as a young man who will be able to first assess the girl's external world, and then will assess all the external parameters. For him, the most attractive feature will be a sharp mind and a high level of intelligence of the chosen one. In a relationship, Nikolai is able to prove himself as a jealous and possessive person. He will not listen to reproaches from the girl, even when they are really justified. If there is intimacy in a relationship, then it is at these moments that a real man can be considered, he will say compliments not out of a sense of duty, but sincerely, and when he confesses his love, then this will be really true. It should be noted that men with the name Nikolai, more often pay attention to girls with luxurious forms, not keeping my eyes on slender and thin figures.

The time of romantic dates and courtship will be organized according to all the rules, the young man will do everything as beautifully and correctly as possible. Such tactics will help him in seducing his chosen one. Kolya can do this when, even after parting with him, the girl will not have anger or resentment, but, most likely, a slight sadness because everything ended so quickly.

Nikolai's girls can change very quickly. He loves to conquer, charm, but quickly after that he loses interest. Even in a short-term relationship, he does not allow the option of betrayal, and if such a thought appears, then he simply leaves.

Families.

Lovingness can very often become the reason for a rather late marriage, a man will carefully look at possible candidates and carefully analyze everything. If he decided to take the girl to the registry office, then he definitely loves her very much. The chosen one of such a man can become a very happy woman, because in the barque Nicholas will open up as a good owner, a caring and very attentive husband, and after a while as a really amazing father. Such a man will very often be set as an example for their husbands by his wife's friends, they may envy such family happiness and complete harmony. Cheating in marriage is unacceptable for a man. This option is possible only if the wife refuses to be intimate with him. He will be able to satisfy physiological needs with another woman, but he will begin to carefully hide such a connection from his wife.

Children will bathe in the attention of their dad, he can happily study with them and teach lessons, it is absolutely not difficult for him to take the children to the section or pick them up from school. All these duties can bring him real pleasure and joy. The only problem that can arise in such a family is the man's excessive love for alcohol. If the wife can stop all such phenomena, then the family can really be called ideal.

Job.

For his colleagues and management, Nikolay will be a responsible and competent employee with whom to work. In a leadership position, he will prove himself to be a very tough and demanding leader, he will enjoy his powers and power, and this can negatively affect character.

He himself is not a slacker and will never tolerate negligence on the part of subordinates.
A beautiful and sonorous name is only the first step towards a happy and dignified life. Proper upbringing and attention from parents will really help a boy to become a worthy and real man.

When, according to the church calendar, the name day of Nicholas:

May 22, December 19 - Nicholas of Mirliki, archbishop, miracle worker, August 10 - Nicholas of Novgorod, for Christ's sake, the holy fool, March 22 - Nicholas of Sevastopol, martyr.

A little man who comes into this world receives a gift from birth - two Angels. The first is an Angel who helps to do good, good deeds, to avoid evil - the Guardian Angel. The second Angel is the saint whose name we bear. This Angel asks God to help us. To remember this helper, there is an old tradition of celebrating the name day, the day of the Angel. For every Christian, this is a special day, his spiritual birthday. Name day is the day of remembrance of that saint, thanks to whom a person got his name.

When a baby is baptized, the church gives him the name of a saint. Thus, the baby receives a direction for self-realization.

The kid still has a lot to achieve in life, so he always needs support. Receiving at baptism the name of a saint who became famous for his deeds, a person also receives a helper who rejoices and grieves with him. Therefore, in addition to physical birth, each person also has a spiritual birthday, which is called a name day.

Previously, there was a custom: at baptism, a person received a name that was chosen according to certain rules. The baby received the name of that saint, whose memory was celebrated on the day the baby was born or on the day when the baptismal procedure was performed. For girls, it was allowed to make a shift for several days if there were no days of remembrance of the holy wives on the day of their birth or baptism. Thanks to this custom, the day of physical (actual) birth and name day were combined, merged together. Hence comes the custom of calling those who celebrate and celebrate their birthday as birthday people.

According to another rule, the baby could be named after the saint whom the parents had chosen earlier. Parents prayed to this saint even before the baby appeared. In this case, the name day was celebrated on the day of the memory of this saint. If there were several such days in the year, then they chose the date that was closest to the birthday of the crumbs.

You can celebrate your name day in different ways. A Christian should remember that on this day it is desirable to come to church, pray, confess, and receive spiritual support.

To be worthy of your name, you need to read, study the data on the life of your patron saint. In addition, it is worth finding a prayer to your saint, which can be read both in difficult moments of life, and just every day, remembering your patron saint.

Characteristics of the name Nikolai

Little Nikolai is a cunning and charming child. It doesn't cost him anything to fool around even his parents. He can pretend to be so simple-minded and naive that you will never believe that he has done something wrong. Nikolai has a rich imagination and versatile interests. He is active, loves outdoor games, walks.

Nikolai is an excellent student. He is well-read, thinks quickly, knows how to get out of an unpleasant situation. Nikolai is extremely curious, he easily memorizes material. He loves to be in the public eye, is talented, gladly participates in competitions, school performances and circles. As a rule, teachers are very happy with them.

All his life Nikolai will hide behind this mask of sincerity, friendliness and benevolence. But he is not at all simple, not open and, moreover, not naive. Behind the mask hides a cold reason, observation, selfishness. Nikolai is biding his time to turn events in his favor. He is reserved, never says what he really thinks. He doesn't care much about how others treat him, he doesn't really appreciate his friends, but he himself is not capable of betrayal.

Nikolai has a sharp mind. He will work conscientiously, but completely, "headlong" in the work will not go. Nikolai is unlikely to take the initiative in any business, he prefers to remain on the sidelines, but not to lose sight of the situation. It is difficult to hurt him, to piss off him, but if this happens, the mask will fall off Nicholas for a moment. Behind her will appear his aggressiveness, strength, lust for power, even cruelty. Nikolai will become a good lawyer, surgeon, and test person. He will be a good leader, because he does not tolerate injustice and will not tolerate it. If Nikolai gives free rein to his talents, he is able to succeed in creative professions: artist, musician, writer.

What does the name Nikolay mean

From the ancient Greek language - the winner of the peoples - Nikola, Mikola. Nikolai's birthday four times a year. In the old days, schismatics vehemently rejected the Greek name Nicholas as "dog", because of the ending "bark". Therefore, the only correct form was considered - Nikola, Cola. Looking at the handsome, funny, sexy Nikolai, he just wants to sing "Kolya, Kolya, Nikolai, stay at home - don't walk!"

But Kolya - at least sing, even scold, at least close the doors - he will still run away with a pretty girl. And if he also likes her, then in a day or two she will already become his legal wife.

After all, Kolya is terribly in love, and also very jealous. However, he can still be forgiven a lot. It literally works day and night. During the day at the service he gives all the best "from and to", and in the evening he arranges his house.

If he is a simple employee, then with his colleagues he is a “guy-shirt”.

Well, if he is the boss, then he behaves like a “specific prince”. In this case, if any of the subordinates sees him in anger, then runs away from his eyes. However, this situation, as a rule, does not last long. After all, Nikolai is essentially balanced, easy-going, friendly. At home (in the family) Nikolai is an exemplary, caring husband and father.

He simply adores his children. Allows them to do whatever they want. But Nikolai himself should restrict something, in particular, excessive alcohol consumption.

Nikolai sees himself as the center of action, relatively little feeling other forces above and below him. He overestimates his importance in the world, and it seems to him that everything around does not happen by itself, organically unfolding and guided by forces that have nothing to do with the implementation of human plans, but must certainly be done by some reasonable will.
