For the Orthodox Christian, Angel Day is a special holiday that is expected every year. This is a memorial day for the saint who is the patron saint of man. Many people have different patron saints, so the time for celebrating Angel Day is individual for everyone.
Angel Day celebrations are very easy to determine. To do this, just pick up the Orthodox Church calendar and see the date of the memory of the saint in whose name the person is named. You need to know that there may be several saints with the same name. In this case, the question may arise which saint is the patron saint of a particular person. This problem is solved easily. Everyone knows the date of his birth. Therefore, according to the church calendar, you need to look at the memory of that saint, who falls first after his birthday. It is this saint of God who will be the heavenly patron of man, and the date of his remembrance is the Day of the Orthodox Angel.
You must also 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 Angel Day, you must also 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 saints who were not canonized at the time of the birth of a person cannot be heavenly protectors. For example, in the case of 2000, the new martyrs and confessors of Russia are not the patron saints of those who were born and baptized earlier than this year.
