The fate of the church name Yuri in history

Saint Yuri of Petrograd

Novitsky Yuri Petrovich - one of the famous Orthodox, equated to the saints for good deeds and the spread of faith among the Russian. Yuri Petrovich was born in 1882 in one of the provinces near Kiev. His family was quite prosperous, his mother was a pillar noblewoman, his father was a justice of the peace.

When Yuri was studying at the Gymnasium in Kiev, he became actively interested in religion, and became a deeply religious person. Even when he became a professor in the field of criminal law, a forensic scientist, he did not leave public work for the benefit of the church, he became chairman of the Society of Orthodox Parishes in the city of Petrograd.

Yuri Petrovich began to firmly defend the interests of the church before the Soviet authorities, to provide professional legal assistance to Metropolitan Veniamin. After that, Yuri Petrovich, together with the archbishop and metropolitan, was arrested by counter-revolutionaries and shot at one of the railway stations, presumably at the Rzhev training ground. The location of his relics is still unknown.

The reason for such a quick execution of Yuri Petrogradsky was the high authority among the common people, who valued him for his kindness, responsiveness, courage and inflexibility.

Saint George Vsevolodovich

) Vsevolodovich - Prince of Vladimir, Gorodetsky and Suzdal. He professed Orthodoxy, was kind, merciful, honored the laws of God, supported the needy, distributing alms, building churches, parishes, built a stone cathedral in Suzdal, finished with marble and painted the ceilings.

After the death of Yuri Vladimirsky, his relics were canonized, and he was equated with the saints as the Blessed Holy Prince George Vsevolodovich.

The name Yuri, Yura in our time is not among the most popular. Modern children are hardly called that, although earlier it was quite common. In addition, in the pre-revolutionary era, the name Yuri was often given to children from noble and noble families. At the same time, Yuri's name day was also celebrated, which was considered the main holiday in the life of such a person. By the way, the tradition of celebrating name days is gradually returning to our lives, so you need to know what dates they fall on and how to celebrate them correctly.

Yuri's birthday. What does this holiday mean?

Previously, name days were considered an event of an exclusively religious nature, but today they have been given a more secular character. But, despite this, such a day was, is and will be a holiday of the soul.

Previously, a person was given a name at baptism, which took place on the 8th day after his birth. At the same time, they named him in honor of that saint whose day of memory or veneration was next to the date of birth of the baby. So the child acquired his high patron. And the day of the name day became such a date of memory or veneration of the holy namesake.

Name day traditions

As already mentioned, name days were once the main holiday in a person’s life. This day began with a trip to the church, where the hero of the occasion took communion and confessed. In addition to him, close relatives went to the church, who ordered the service, lit candles. The birthday man was supposed to put candles near the icon of his patron saint. Yuri's birthday in this respect was no different from the others.

After church affairs, it was supposed to gather a festive dinner for family and relatives. Homemade dishes were put on the table, there were a lot of pastries - pies and loaves. It was also customary to distribute goodies to neighbors, the largest loaves relied on godparents. Baking was stuffed with jam, berries, fish, mushrooms. At the same time, pies could be both open and closed.

As for the materials of manufacture, simple icons, icons made with precious materials and stones, were given for name days.

The remains of the prince were found on the battlefield and identified by the prince's clothes.

George (Yuri) Vsevolodovich, Grand Duke of Vladimir

How to correctly determine the spiritual patron and Yuri's name day according to the Orthodox calendar? Options to consider are:

  • by birthday;
  • on the day of naming (the eighth day of life);
  • on the day of baptism (fortieth day of life);

It happens that on a particular day the names of the saints are not indicated, or Yuri's birthday does not coincide with the day of commemoration of "his" saint. Then they look through the calendar three days ahead of the birthday or baptism, and decide on the choice - the day of Yuri's name day according to the church calendar will be considered the next memorial day of St. Yuri.

Traditionally, Christians called children strictly according to the charter of the church, so there was no confusion between Name Day and Angel Day. Today, not everyone distinguishes between these two memorable dates.

Day of Angel Yuri is the day of his baptism. It is called so because after the Sacrament, a Guardian Angel appears at the baptized, who accompanies and protects the ward.

† Georgy (Yuri) Vsevolodovich of Vladimir, holy noble prince

The future holy noble Grand Duke was born in 1189. His parents were good Christians. And the little prince was brought up in the fear of God from an early age. The young prince himself was drawn to Christianity: he diligently studied the Holy Scriptures, attended church, observed fasting and prayed. At the age of 19, the prince married. His wife was Agafya, daughter of the Kiev prince. In her liking, she was a match for her husband - modest, religious, kind and sensitive.

At the age of 24, Georgy Vsevolodovich became the Grand Duke of Vladimir. After several years of reign, as a result of the intrigues of his elder brother Konstantin, George had to leave Vladimir and reign in the small and poor town of Radilov. The humility with which George accepted his defeat and the move was soon rewarded. Having fallen ill, Konstantin himself called his brother, gave him the reign of the city of Suzdal and appointed him his heir. After the death of his brother, George again took the princely throne. The Grand Duke gave cities to his sons and nephews. Being the defender of the Russian land, he protected it from the raids of foreigners, founded Nizhny Novgorod and founded two churches in it - the All-Merciful Savior and the Archangel Michael.

Georgy Vsevolodovich found the glory of a wise ruler. Princes and clerics consulted with him. At the initiative of the prince, the relics of the martyr Abraham were transferred to Vladimir. But the ruler faced severe trials. The Mongol-Tatar invasion swept through the lands like a black wave and approached the Vladimir principality. Leaving his family in the capital, the prince united with other rulers of the Russian land and drove off to the banks of the City River. In the besieged city, the entire family of the Grand Duke perished. Many of those whom he called to repulse the enemies did not come to the rescue. George Vsevolodovich died in 1238 in an unequal battle with the invaders. His body was transferred to Vladimir.

Nowadays, the cancer with the holy relics of the blessed prince is located in the Assumption Cathedral Church, miraculous healings happen near it.
