When marks the day of the angel Helen?

People say: "As a person will be called at birth, such is his future destiny, such is his character." In the Orthodox calendar every day is dedicated to the memory of some holy saint. When baptized, a Christian is named after one of them, who becomes his patron. The day of the memory of that righteous man, whose name the person received, is considered the day of the angel.

Elena can celebrate her angel's day at least eight times a year. The patrons of the girls who wear this beautiful name are:

• The Great Martyr Elena (January 28, June 8, September 17).
• Elena Constantinople (June 3). The queen spent her whole life preaching the Christian faith. Under her leadership, excavations were conducted in Jerusalem, as a result of which religious artifacts were found, namely the coffin of the Lord and the life-giving cross. Her son introduced Christianity in the Roman Empire.
• The Monk Elena Diveevskaya, being in the women's community near the village of Diveevo, led an ideal spiritual life, performed ascetic feats for the glory of Christ. The day of the angel of Helena, who chose this righteous woman as her patron, is celebrated on June 10.
• The Monastic Martyr Yelena (August 10) was shot by the Bolsheviks for her active propaganda of Christianity.
• The Queen of Serbia, Elena (the day of the angel - November 12). This holy woman, during her life, did good deeds, reconciled enemies, protected orphans, and helped the church servants with money. After the death of her husband, the care for the protection of her people lay on her shoulders.

On the day of the angel, Elena must pray with prayer for the salvation of her soul to her patron saint, whom she can choose at her own discretion.
