  • Name of the day June 18 - Igor

    Igor is an Old Scandinavian name, derived from the name Ingvar, consisting of the words “Ing” - the name of the god of fertility, “varr” - army, strength.

    There are also versions that tell about the origin of this name from the English “Ivar”, which means “helmsman, leading the ship.”

    The name Igor is patronized by the star Altair from the constellation Aquila. The bright star endows the owner of the name with its powers so significantly that Igor often overwhelms with his superiority. At the same time, he can lead people, like a real helmsman who leads a fragile boat to the shore in a stormy sea.

    The never-setting star Altair brings to Igor the image of the ideal that he strives to achieve. Whether we are talking about a turbulent personal life, a career take-off, or a simple hobby, Igor is trying to achieve perfection; any other path is boring for him. The search for an ideal woman sometimes leads to the fact that he is left alone with his never-setting star Altair, and then he glorifies the unfulfilled on paper, in music or painting. He can be called a “master of brilliant illusions” - this is how science fiction writers come into the world.

    Igor is lucky in his career. If life has led him to work as an official, it is not so important to engage in creativity in parallel or professionally. But creativity should be present at least as a hobby - this is a normal realization of Altair’s energy.

    You can restore your strength with the help of the energy of the Eagle constellation. To receive the energy of this constellation, you need to look at the image of the constellation, then close your eyes, imagine the picture and the energy that flows from the stars. Take a breath and “inhale” the energy, and then “exhale” the bad energy.

    For practices and meditations, it would be nice for Igor to have crystal rosaries; sorting the beads in the process of contemplating the constellation allows him to do right choice and reveals what is hidden.

    The image of this constellation has a beneficial effect on competitors in the direction Igor needs, so it is advisable to have an engraving with this image next to you.

    The constellation Eagle on name day night - fortunately, Altair - for the fulfillment of desires, rosary - for complete realization.

    Dreams come true for Konstantin.

    If Konstantin dreamed that he was running from someone, this is an indicator of upcoming problems and painful attempts to escape from the situation.

    To prevent a negative Name Day Dream from coming true, it would be nice for Konstantin to purchase a Name Talisman with a figurine of a horse made of malachite. In the old days, the horse was called the “bird of the wind”; it is the embodiment of flexibility and will help you adapt to any situation.

    Dreams come true for Leonid.

    Lions dream of victory in a conflict; if there is no conflict, then this is a name day dream, foreshadowing a change for the better.

    A carnelian lion figurine will bring victory in love affairs.

    Dreams come true for Mark.

    The weapon that Mark dreamed about on June 18 predicts that he will be faced with a situation in which he will be forced to show the most best qualities.

    Dreams come true on the night of Fyodor’s name day.

    If on June 18 you dreamed of extinguished candles or a church, then this name day dream predicts disappointment in love. Fedor will discover something in his partner that he did not expect. The name talisman - moonstone - can soften the negative meaning of the dream. As a stone of vague hopes, the moonstone will help Fedor to be more crafty in communicating with beautiful ladies.

I grieve for you, holy prince, with the love of the Russian sons, seeing you, from the pious root a pious branch, and a magnificent marriage for you on the land of your prepared relatives and friends, not knowing Bo God's Providence, as God was pleased to choose you to serve as a celibate on the brother of the Son His Only Begotten, and you, holy and faithful prince, having preceded us in the Kingdom of grace, drawing us with your love into the Kingdom of Heaven, be for us an instrument of humanity and the goodness of God, turn away from us and true disaster, comfort us in grief and sorrow, strengthen us with your intercession The Lord has the faithful strength to do good for the glory of the name of God and for the prosperity of the Kingdom of Christ, may all the peoples of the land of Russia prosper in health and prosperity and grow from strength to strength and from glory to glory May they always be inspired by piety, truth, courage, devotion to the fatherland and with all the virtues, and together with you we will be worthy of extolling the goodness, love and mercy of the One, in the Trinity of the Holy Glorified God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever.

    On June 18 (July 1), Orthodox Christians venerate the Bogolyubsk Icon of the Mother of God, which is one of the oldest miraculous icons of Russian origin. The icon was painted in the 12th century at the request of Andrei Bogolyubsky, one of the first collectors of the Russian land, after the appearance of the Mother of God to him.

    The Mother of God appeared during the prince's trip to Vladimir with an icon (later called the Vladimir icon). The Mother of God ordered the prince to leave the icon he was carrying in Vladimir, and to build a temple on this place. At the site of the appearance of the Mother of God to Prince Andrey, after some time the Bogolyubsky Monastery was founded.

    The icon depicts the Mother of God in full height, with raised hands, praying before God. She is without a baby, in her hands is a scroll with the text of a prayer. The icon is characterized by very soft, “thin” writing. It suffered greatly from time to time and was restored at the end of the 20th century.
