For the Orthodox Christian, Angel Day is a special holiday that is expected every year. This is the day of remembrance of the saint who is the heavenly patron of man. Many people have different patron saints, so the time for celebrating Angel Day is different for everyone.
It is very easy to determine the time of the celebration of the Day of the Angel. To do this, it is enough to pick up the Orthodox Church calendar and look at the date of remembrance of the saint in whose name the person is named. It is necessary to know that there can be several saints with the same name. In this case, the question may arise as to which saint is the patron saint of a particular person. This task is easily solved. Everyone knows their date of birth. Therefore, according to the church calendar, you need to look at the memory of that saint, which falls first after the birthday. It is this saint of God that will be the heavenly patron of man, and the date of his remembrance is the Day of the Orthodox Angel.
It is also necessary to know that some saints have several days of remembrance. For example, Nicholas the Wonderworker or Sergius of Radonezh. Accordingly, a person will have several Angel Days.
To determine the date of the celebration of the Day of the Angel, you also need to take into account the time of birth and baptism of the believer himself. So, for example, if a person was born before 2000 and was baptized, but only years later decided to find out the date of his Angel Day (after 2000), then the saints who were not canonized at the time of the person's birth cannot be heavenly patrons. For example, in the case of the year 2000, the new martyrs and confessors of Russia are not the patron saints of those who were born and baptized earlier this year.
