Let us dwell in more detail on the individual patron saints of the name.

Dimitry Prilutsky: Memorial Day February 24

The Orthodox Church venerates the venerable and wonderworker Demetrius of Prilutsky on February 24, the day of his death, and on June 16. At the same time, the day of the angel Dmitry is celebrated.

Dimitry Prilutsky was born in the Yaroslavl region into a noble merchant family. In his youth he took monastic vows and soon built a monastery on the shores of Lake Pleshcheevo, where he became abbot. Demetrius of Prilutsky was a student of Sergius of Radonezh and became very close to him. Soon the abbot from the city of Pereslavl-Zalessky became known throughout most of Rus'. It is known that he even became the godparent of the children of Moscow Prince Dmitry Donskoy.

With the blessing of Sergius of Radonezh, Dimitri Prilutsky, together with his student, went to remote places, to the North. Here, on a river near Vologda, in 1371 he founded the Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery, which today is the largest and oldest in the Russian North. Here the saint reposed on February 11 (24), 1406. His relics are still kept in the monastery he founded.

Patron named after Dimitri Donskoy - June 1

From the age of 9, Dimitri Donskoy was raised by Metropolitan Alexy, who, after the death of the boy’s father in 1359, became the de facto ruler of the Moscow principality. From a young age, the young prince possessed amazing qualities that combined Christian piety and the talent of a leader wise beyond his years. He dedicated his entire life to the unification of Russian lands and the liberation of their territory from the Tatar-Mongol yoke.

The most significant thing in the life of Dimitri Donskoy was the victory in the Battle of Kulikovo, where he managed to defeat a horde of Mamai’s warriors. On the eve of this event, the prince turned to Sergius of Radonezh for a blessing. After the victory on the Kulikovo field, Prince Dimitri began to be called Donskoy. During his life, he built the Assumption Monastery and a temple on the graves of fallen soldiers.

Dmitriev's Day - November 8

On this day, not only a number of church holidays are celebrated, but also a national holiday - Demetrius Day - in honor of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica. This day was considered the beginning of winter among the Eastern and young Slavs.

Demetrius of Thessalonica was a true Christian and the son of a Roman proconsul. After the death of his father, he took his place, but instead of defending the country from external enemies, the emperor ordered him to exterminate Christians. Demetrius of Thessaloniki disobeyed this order and began to convert the pagans to the faith. For this he was captured and imprisoned. While awaiting imprisonment, Demetrius of Thessalonica distributed all his property to those in need, and he himself began to pray intensely.

In 306, Demetrius of Thessalonica accepted martyrdom. His disciples secretly buried the body of the martyr. A temple was erected on this site during the reign of Constantine the Great.

When choosing a name for their child, today many modern parents are guided not only by its euphony and compatibility with the patronymic and surname. They (parents) are increasingly trying to adhere to Christian traditions in choosing a name for their baby.

Dmitry's name day

Happy birthday, everything is clear - this is the specific date of the birth of a new person. Next, this person should be selected and given a name. And at this stage, many parents turn to the calendar - the church calendar, which indicates the days of honoring saints, dates of religious holidays and other information. The choice of name occurs as follows: based on the date of birth, the calendar determines the day closest to the day of veneration of a saint (or saint in the case of choosing a name for a girl) and the name of this saint is chosen as the name for the child. And the day of veneration of the saint itself will now be considered a name day. But there are a number of nuances that you should pay attention to. For example, you chose the name Dmitry for a boy. According to the Orthodox calendar, Dmitry's name day is celebrated several times a year - January 31; February 7, 9, 11, 16 and 24; April 1 and 26; 28; June 1, 5, 10, 15 and 16; 21 July; September 24; October 4, 7 and 15; November 8, 10 and 28; December 14. Which one should Dmitry consider his name day? It's quite simple. There is a concept of “big” name days and “small” name days. “Big” name days named after Dmitry, or as they are also called, main ones, are celebrated on the day of veneration of the saint who is the closest (meaning day) after his birthday. All other dates for honoring the same saint refer to “small” name days and, as a rule, are not celebrated, although this, of course, is an individual decision for everyone.

Having decided on a name, I also want to know what it means. After all, it is no secret that a name influences both the formation of a person’s character and his entire destiny. The name Dmitry, or the church form Dimitri, has Greek roots and is interpreted differently in different sources. According to some sources, this name is translated as “fruit of the earth.” But other sources claim that the name Dmitry is associated with the name of Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility, and means “dedicated to Demeter.” As a rule, men named Dmitry are not arrogant and very friendly. But injustice and resentment cause a strong emotional explosion in them. Also, the owners of this name are endowed with titanic patience, endurance and efficiency, but on the other hand they are characterized by some impulsiveness and even sometimes mental instability.

Having dealt with the name day and the characteristics of the name, it is worth understanding the last concept - the day of the angel, in this particular case for the name Dmitry. According to Orthodox dogmas, Angel Day is considered the day when a Guardian Angel is sent from above to a person, called to protect him (the person) from all temptations and difficulties on the path of life. Therefore, when wondering what date to celebrate the day of the angel Dmitry (in this case), remember exactly the date of the Baptism ceremony. Often parents give their child just a name they like, and at baptism they are guided by the Orthodox calendar. In this case, the child may have two names - the so-called worldly and spiritual, received at baptism and with which he will live his whole life and with which he will appear before the Almighty.

Characteristics of the birthday boy Dmitry:

From the ancient Greek language - belonging to Demeter, the goddess of the earth. Demeter is one of the most revered deities of the Olympic pantheon. Literal meaning: mother earth, symbol of fertility, vitality. Dmitry's name day in summer, spring and autumn.

Dmitry is smart, resourceful, hardworking, sociable, easily endures and overcomes any difficult moments in life. He is a good leader, lawyer, teacher, manager, doctor, etc., therefore he achieves good success both in life and in his career. He is most successful in those professions that involve the art of convincing people of something. Dmitry loves homeliness, comfort, beautiful women...

He is very amorous and changes his sympathies without remorse, which leads to repeated marriages. However, in these cases, he does not leave his children without personal care and financial assistance. Treats mother touchingly and respectfully.

In early childhood he suffered from laryngitis and tonsillitis. Very charming at this age - small, plump. They become adults early and get fat. Strong-willed, explosive nature. He is very good to work with and difficult to compete with.

Flexibility, speed, agility and accuracy give him the opportunity to make unmistakable choices in business, marriage, sex - the romantic attraction to women does not leave him until old age.

He is passionate, and his passions are not superficial attractions and hobbies, without which it is quite easy to imagine this or that person, but deep ones, rooted in layers of his personality unknown to him, from where they find their way into consciousness as completely ready and unconditional . However, despite passion, from which in the ordinary consciousness fiery and this or that brilliance are inseparable, the fiery principle is extremely alien to Dmitry, and if we talk about the burning of his desires, then it is dark heat, without flame and light, a kind of black fire, destructive, but seemingly blacker than the surrounding darkness.

The origin and history of a name are very important factors that parents must consider before choosing the final option. Today there is a lot of literature and advice from experts who tell in detail and clearly why one name is better than another. Young parents have nine months to carefully study such recommendations and make the right choice.

The name Dima today does not lose its popularity and many prefer to choose it for a newborn baby. The history of the name goes back to ancient Greece. It originally sounded like Demetrios and was a symbol of the boy's relationship to the fertility goddess Demeter. Some sources indicate that people could shorten it and call the boy simply Mithraeus.

Dima in childhood.

From childhood, the boy grows up simply in an atmosphere of adoration from his mother. She puts him on a family pedestal and tries to fulfill all the wishes of her little son. Most often, children with this name have many health problems during the first years of their lives. Parents must constantly fight the flu, sore throat or bronchitis. The slightest cold threatens to become another disaster. Constant illness and excessive care from the mother’s side make the child very capricious. He can start crying very quickly and is prone to hysterical states. Often a mother has to treat an unstable nervous system by visiting doctors, and then sanatoriums or recreation centers.

Gradually, health problems decrease, and the child forgets about his stupid whims and hysterics. Instead, you can begin to notice how a man's persistent and persistent character is formed. Very often Dima takes similar traits from his mother not only in character, but also in appearance.

Job.

Dmitry is able to adapt quite quickly to a new workplace. He is not embarrassed by a change of environment or other people in the team. Thanks to his sociability, he can quickly find a common language with all his colleagues. Very often, it is at the workplace that he finds true friends, relationships with whom last for many years.

Most often, a career can quickly take place only in those areas of activity whose work is directly related to constant communication. Some colleagues may be jealous that a man makes great progress in his work quite quickly and without much effort. It should be noted that a man can work successfully only when there is an interest in the profession. In another case, he will simply carry out his official duties, but nothing more. Most often, in a team, Dmitry does not try to position himself as a leader. He does not impose his opinion on anyone or tries to show his work to management in a favorable light.

For Dmitry, a very important point in his professional activity will be the well-deserved respect of his manager. It is truly very valuable for him that his successes are seen and can be properly celebrated. Most often, he chooses medicine, research or computer programming for his professional field of activity. Very often, a child's love for constantly disassembling radios and receivers can turn into an adult and serious profession.

Love.

For a long time, a young man will avoid intimacy with girls. This happens not because he is afraid, but because he really wants to meet his one and only. Therefore, the disclosure of sexual potential occurs already in adulthood. Unfortunately, a young man is inclined to independently consider the problem from an initially incorrect perspective and draw conclusions that do not correspond to reality. Most often this concerns girls. He experiences disappointment only on the basis of superficial communication or simply a critical assessment of appearance. All this may actually turn out to be completely different, but he no longer has the desire to continue communication and show some kind of sympathy. Often, Dmitry can simply stand on the sidelines and watch the one he likes, but not take any steps to win the girl’s heart. Such indecisiveness prevents him from building a full-fledged relationship, because, in fact, he refuses his own happiness due to uncertainty or some imaginary obstacles.

A man with that name simply will not have the desire to share the bed of someone he does not love. In this case, feelings always come to the fore, but even with his girlfriend he cannot fully open up and his caresses and attentions can look rather strange and sometimes rude. He cannot be called a seducer of women, because most often no one taught him such subtleties. In intimate relationships, he pays a lot of attention to the sensual aspect; it is important for him that his partner feels him well, but at the same time, he is simply not able to show temperament. Such relationships can be called equal. For some girls this is more than acceptable, while others lack emotions and thrills. Against the backdrop of sexual incompatibility, relationships can deteriorate.

Family.

Dmitry can simply be called an exemplary family man. He will truly love the girl he calls his wife and will constantly try to give her the best. In marriage, comfort and care for each other are very important to him. A man with this name can extremely rarely cheat on his chosen one and only if he clearly sees how the relationship is being destroyed and it will be impossible to save it. When children appear in a family, a man will do everything in his power to ensure that his family is fully provided for financially. The very idea that a wife or child might need something is unacceptable to him.

In the event that a marriage breaks up, the experiences last for quite a long time, but a second union is still possible. As a rule, the thought of marriage and starting a family comes to a man already in adulthood. Then he can take full responsibility for his loved ones and not worry about them.

General characteristics of the name.

Dmitry can easily be called a very tough person who rarely accepts someone else’s point of view. He has truly enormous willpower inside him, which can lead him to his cherished goal. Friends and acquaintances, when communicating with him, gradually get used to such a character trait as straightforwardness. In some cases, listening to the truth can be quite unpleasant, but it is simply unacceptable for a man to be a hypocrite. It is this quality that can become a rather serious obstacle in your career or personal life.

A man can safely be called addicted, since his sympathies change very quickly. After some time, falling in love is replaced by complete indifference and even irritability. When making decisions, he is guided only by logic, so in life there is a constant series of loud ups and equally loud downs. He handles defeats and victories differently. Victory can inspire you, but defeat can plunge you into the abyss of depression. For a man, his principles and beliefs will come first all his life.

No one knows how much a name influences fate, but the fact that there are really a lot of coincidences in detailed descriptions is true, so you should think carefully before giving such an important gift to your child once in a lifetime - giving a name.

When is Dmitry’s name day according to the church calendar:

June 1 - Demetrius Donskoy, prince, November 8 - Demetrius of Thessalonica, myrrh-streaming, great martyr; May 28, June 5, June 16 – Dmitry of Uglich and Moscow, prince.
