And now let's talk about the most significant figures from this list - those who are more often elected as heavenly patrons and who are more often remembered when they think about what name to name the girl born in August.

Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene is, perhaps, one of the most revered women in the whole Christian world. Girls born in August, whose names correspond to the name of this saint, have the opportunity to elect at least two other saints of the same name, remembered this month, by their patronesses. However, more often than not, it is Mary Magdalene who is the final choice. History has kept for us a little information about her life. However, the church tradition is full of legends about who was and how this woman lived her life.

According to the most popular opinion, she was born in the town of Magdala, near Galilee, near Tiberias Lake. Hence her nickname - Magdalene. In life, before the meeting with Christ, she, as church myths claim, was engaged in prostitution. However, this is a rather late emerging characteristic, so it is not a fact that it corresponds to reality. In any case, it is believed that her life was full of sin until Christ cast out seven demons and let go of his sins. After that she turned and sincerely, being devoted to her teacher, followed Christ everywhere, wherever he went. She was with him and during his execution, when the other apostles were frightened and fled. She first went to the sepulcher on Sunday morning and first saw the risen Jesus. It was she who commissioned him to go with the Paschal gospel to the apostles and inform them of his resurrection. According to the Bible, the apostles did not believe her words, for which they were later rooted.

About what Maria did in the following years and how her life ended, there is no reliable data. If you believe the orthodox tradition, she went around preaching Christian doctrine all Italy and Rome, where she even preached the emperor Tiberius. To this episode include the miracle committed to her, as a result of which the chicken egg supernaturally colored in scarlet. Therefore, it is attributed to the establishment of the custom of painting eggs for Easter. In old age Maria moved to Ephesus, where she spent the last years of life, helping in the labors of the Apostle John the Theologian. It is believed that it was with her words that the twentieth chapter of his gospel was written. Unfortunately, this statement also does not lend itself to historical verification.

Mary Magdalene, as already mentioned, is widely venerated in the Catholic and Orthodox world. In her honor, magnificent cathedrals are being built, and the day of her memory is celebrated with magnificent festivities in many countries of the world. Particles of her relics are kept in various temples throughout Europe and in several other countries. It is not surprising, therefore, that she is firstly remembered when asked about the name of the girl born in August.

Martyr Christina

In the figure of this martyr there is a very bright, colorful character of the church myth-making, due to which she was always especially revered and singled out against the background of many other holy women. However, the church legends and folklore so penetrated into the life of this woman that from the real history of the person named Christina (Christina) is unlikely that there is nothing left. Even her real name is unknown to us.

According to the life, lived Christina in the III century and was the daughter of the ruler of Tire named Urban. Her father greatly wanted her daughter to become a priestess, for which, from childhood, she instilled in her love and piety in the womb of paternal pagan faith. However, the girl gradually came to the idea that behind all the pagan gods there must be one, the only god-creator, superior in strength to all the others. One day, reflecting on this, she was shown an angel and instructed her in the Christian faith. Having believed in Christ, Christina broke the images of all pagan gods, which caused the wrath of her parents. The father demanded that she renounce the new faith, but she refused. Later, as life reported, she was tortured: burned with fire, stoked in the sea, but every time she miraculously came out healthy. In the end, her father died, and the girl herself was put in prison, where she began preaching to those who visited her. Thus, she converted to Christianity about three thousand people. Finally, one of the rulers, exhausted from torture and seeing her inflexibility in the confession of Christianity, ordered to cut her with a sword, after which the saint died.

This is a fairly powerful story of the power of psychological influence, although it does not look much like the truth. Either way, the church names of girls born in August are often given in honor of this particular martyr.

The Monk Martyr Paraskeva

This is another very revered saint. In honor of her, especially in the old days, many girls were born, born in August. The names of many of them are preserved by our history. The very dialect of Paraskeva comes from the Greek word meaning "Friday". According to the life, this woman lived in the II century and was distinguished by an unprecedented miraculous power. Among other things, it was not welded, being thrown into boiling resin, healed from the blindness of Emperor Anthony Pius, the dragon killed a dragon and much more. For the preaching of Christianity, she was beheaded by a ruler named Tarasy. Currently, the names of girls born in August are rarely given in her honor. But once in Russia she was extremely popular and loved.

The Monk Anfisa

Girls born in August, their names can be worn in honor of at least thirty-five holy women. But Anfisa's name is one of the most beautiful among them. Although it is not very popular. The Monk Anfisa during her lifetime was a nun who headed one of the monasteries in Asia Minor in the VIII century. It is believed that she suffered from the emperor Constantine Copronima, who forced her to become iconoclasm. However, for the fulfilled prediction of the children of the emperor, she was sent back to her monastery, where she lived until she was old.

Saint Nonna

Girls born in August, their names are in honor of various saints. But the name Nona is one of the rarest among them. During her life she was a righteous woman. And in church memory I remembered as the mother of the great saint Gregory the Theologian. She died in the temple during a prayer in 374, shortly after the death of her husband.

Saint Juliana

This saint has their patroness those women who bear the mundane name Julia. The martyr Juliana, together with her brother Paul, was tortured for the confession of Christianity in the third century under Emperor Aurelian in Ptolemais. She remained unshakable in her faith, for which she was ordered to decapitate.
