Almost everyone believes in the existence of higher powers that protect from danger. One of the manifestations of these forces is a person’s faith in the Guardian Angel. This creature, according to legend, protects its ward throughout his life.
Angels are the invisible guardians of the human soul, the most ancient creatures that are not described by any religion. However, Jewish Kabbalah has about 72 Angels. All these Angels help people in general, there is no individual who is responsible for life a certain person. Why are there 72 of them? The fact is that each Angel is endowed with certain responsibilities and monitors specific area human life. How does this happen?
It is worth noting that Christianity, in turn, implies that a person’s guardian angel by name exists personally for each person. He appears in a person’s life at the moment of his baptism. But there are other opinions that say that a Guardian Angel appears in a person’s life at the hour of his birth. His main job is to protect against death. The hour of death is, of course, determined and inevitable for everyone. But thanks to the Angels, the possibility that certain situations can be avoided still exists. I want to believe it.
In the generally accepted concept, Angels are guardian asexual beings, spirits. But still they are all unique, and named different names. Finding your assistant is very difficult. Many believers claim that the name given to a person at birth coincides with the name of his Angel. Often the opinion is wrong. Since many Guardian Angels are named with completely inhuman names.
To understand the name of your guardian angel, you need to mentally begin to communicate with this invisible friend. Ask him for help, or thank him for his help and support. It will be awkward at first, but you should retire, relax, and talk out your problems out loud. Many argue that, having pushed away from reality during such meditations, a person’s consciousness will tell him the name of his Guardian Angel. It is best to start this communication on the day when Orthodox calendar his name day is scheduled. It is on this day that the Guardian Angel is next to his ward and is ready to make contact.
There is an opinion among the people that unbaptized people are under constant authority dark forces– demons. A guardian with a baptized believer is located everywhere. But he can be scared off if he starts committing unrighteous acts and sinning (drinking alcohol, smoking, criminal acts, foul language). But even in these cases, the Angel guards the preservation of his life and soul. At the same time, his strengths and capabilities are weaker.
When translated from Latin, the name Sergei means “high, highly respected.” Dates on which Sergei’s Guardian Angel is most open to help, as it should be Christian faith correspond to the date after the birthday. Sergei's guardian angel comes to him on one of the following days, provided that the person was born before this date of the calendar year: January 15, April 2, June 1, June 6.
Guardian angel Konstantin. Men named Konstantin do not celebrate Angel Day, relying on the righteous named by this name. Constantines celebrate name days only once a year, or on their birthday.
The guardian angel named Anna is closest to her ward in order to get in touch with him in the days following his birthday, but close to him. Women with the name Anna can celebrate their name day if the nearest date of birth corresponds to: February 16, April 8, June 25, November 16, December 3, December 22.
When a person finds it difficult or danger is imminent, his guardian angel by name comes to the rescue. The help is not always obvious; it can also be expressed in the search for the only the right decision from the most hopeless situation.
Friends, good afternoon and Guardian Angel to help you. By the way, what do you know about Them? Yes, yes, I’m talking about Guardian Angels. Guardian angel is the topic of today's post.
WHO IS A GUARDIAN ANGEL
I'm already talking about the angelic world. Anyone who has read my post knows that the Guardian Angel is the lowest rank of the Angelic hierarchy Divine World, but it is the Guardian Angel that is the closest angel to a person.
I want to start with the fact that a Guardian Angel is not just an incorporeal, highly spiritual being, but also a separate Personality, which is endowed with its own will and freedom of choice. And as proof of this is the fact of the division of the angelic world into saints and fallen angels.
These good Divine spirits are usually invisible to the common man. They are completely devoid of earthly passions and serve the high commands of God. And the Guardian Angel is a person’s closest friend and wise mentor.
GUARDIAN ANGELS MISSION
Now you know that the main objective of every Divine spirit is service to God. The Heavenly Father loves his creation - man, therefore, while a person is spiritually sick (damaged by sin), God, for his salvation and edification, assigns a Guardian Angel to each baptized person. Yes, yes, in Orthodoxy it is believed that it is during “baptism with water and the Holy Spirit” that a person’s Guardian Angel appears.
True, there is the opinion of some people that a Guardian Angel is given to every person at birth, but it is after the baptismal ceremony that he begins to “fully guard” his ward.
“To protect the flock of God, the Lord not only appointed bishops, but also appointed Angels”
Saint Ambrose of Milan
A guardian angel invisibly accompanies his guardian throughout earthly life, and after the physical death of a person accompanies the soul of the deceased to afterworld.
And on Last Judgment The Guardian Angel will intercede before Christ, praying to Him for the person He is protecting. And if the Lord forgives this person, then the Guardian Angel will become a “friend in eternity.”
These kind creatures always try to help us, guide us on the right path, pray for us before God and even sometimes miraculously save us from death.
“She was on her way to visit a friend, and as she was literally approaching her entrance, she felt a hand touch her shoulder. Looking around, she saw no one.
Continuing to walk, the same thing happened again and in bewilderment she went into a cafe nearby across the road to just drink a cup of coffee... She was sitting by the window opposite the house where she was going. And a few minutes later she saw the police, sirens, an ambulance... she saw that a body in a bag was taken out on a stretcher... At the moment when she was supposed to enter the entrance, a murder occurred, and her Angel saved her by touching her shoulder... It was not her time to die...”
We must also understand that Guardian Angels are not assigned to a person to serve him, and this is not “ gold fish”, fulfilling our desires, but it is these good Angels who try to protect us from bad deeds and from fallen angels (demons).
“Angels, with great care and vigilant zeal, stay with us every hour and in every place, help us, provide for our needs, serve as mediators between us and God, lifting up our groans and sighs to Him... They accompany us in all our paths, they come and go with us, carefully observing whether we behave reverently and honestly among the evil generation, and with what zeal we desire and seek the Kingdom of God.”
St. Augustine
If it weren’t for the Guardian Angels, the demons would have long ago exterminated the entire human race. But it is precisely by the grace of God and through the care of the good Angels that a person, while observing piety, can resist the malice of demons, and after death be rewarded with the Kingdom of Heaven.
How to enlist the support of your Guardian Angel
One should not think that baptism is a guarantee of protection by a Guardian Angel or some kind of insurance against any misfortune. Although it is known for certain that there are cases when people of other faiths undergo the rite of baptism, only because they know about the protective power of the baptized person.
But sometimes the Guardian Angel moves away from a person and this happens when a person indulges in passions and vices.
Just as bees are driven away by smoke and doves are driven away by stench, so the guardian of our life, Angel, is driven away by lamentable and stinking sin.
St. Basil the Great
By driving away the Guardian Angel from us through sin, we remove God’s protection from ourselves, falling under the influence of fallen spirits who, with all their might, try to destroy the human soul.
What to do in this case? God is merciful, so even the greatest sinner can be reconciled with his Guardian Angel. Sincere repentance and abandonment of sin is the only way to reconcile a sinner with his Guardian Angel.
By the way, have you noticed this pattern - people, after they leave great sin, for example, they stop drinking and take the right path, soon they gain and Good work(and even more often they open their own business), and strong family and prosperity appears in the house. The Lord always supports a person who takes the right path and the Guardian Angel always stays with true Christian, sheltering him from many troubles and temptations.
I drank a lot before, mostly beer, almost every day, to the point of unconsciousness, but I worked, the money was mostly spent on partying, etc. It’s already been a year since I stopped drinking, I got money, I bought a car, I’m planning a jeep this year buy, everything is ok at home, no one yells, no one gets nervous, when he drank he lost his wife, job, friends. Now I’m recovering, and by the way, I’m 35 years old, don’t drink people - alcohol won’t do any good.
Former alcoholic
There are millions of examples of such spiritual and physical revival and thank God that each of us has a chance for it.
HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHO IS “TALKING TO YOU” - A GUARDIAN ANGEL OR A DEMONS
Everything is simple when you understand that everything that is from God is aimed at the good of man, and in the name of the salvation of his soul. We must also take into account that good is not always a “sweet candy” in a beautiful wrapper, but there is also a “bitter pill” in the form of a life slap in the face, which, however, is still aimed at good.
After the demon’s prompting, there is confusion in the soul with a hint of embarrassment and a sense of choice.
When your soul feels warm during prayer, it means that at that time your Guardian Angel is praying next to you.
HOLY PEOPLE ABOUT GUARDIAN ANGELS
Holy people are given to see what is hidden from the eyes common man. That is why many saints saw events of the future and described a world invisible to us. That is why I urge you to listen to the words of such people.
“...Guardian Angels are the servants of our salvation, so we are not alone in our earthly life, in our labors for the sake of our salvation immortal soul. We know for sure that our helpers are with us, protecting us from all sorts of troubles encountered in the world. life path, and from the wrath of God deserved by each of us. Our Guardian Angel is a being who endlessly loves us. He loves us with the fullness of his love. And his love is great, and its effect is strong, since, contemplating God, he sees eternal love who desires our salvation."
“Our Guardian Angels are powerful in their personal virtues, powerful in the strength they receive from God, powerful in the prayers they send for us to the Almighty God...”
Archimandrite John (Peasant)
Angels, being servants of love and peace, rejoice over our repentance and success in virtue, try to fill us with spiritual contemplations (according to our receptivity) and assist us in all good.
Saint Theodore of Edessa
Each of the faithful is assigned an angel worthy of seeing the Heavenly Father... That with each of the faithful there is an angel who, as a teacher and shepherd, controls his life, no one will argue against this, remembering the words of the Lord: “do not despise any of the little ones.” these; for I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). And the psalmist says: “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him” (Ps. 33:8). The angel will not depart from all those who believe in the Lord, unless we drive him away ourselves with bad deeds. Just as smoke drives away bees and stench drives away doves, so the guardian of our life, an angel, is driven away by regrettable and stinking sin... Since each of us has a holy angel who takes up arms around those who fear the Lord, sins can become the cause of disaster: the wall will no longer cover us, that is holy powers that make people invincible while they are with them.
Any soul left (for falling into evil) without the protection of a guardian angel is given over to be plundered by enemies and trampled upon.Saint Basil the Great
DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE OF THE GUARDIAN ANGELS
In Orthodoxy this is the day of “The Council of the Archangel Michael and others heavenly powers ethereal" is celebrated on November 8 Julian or November 21 according to Gregorian calendar. Catholics honor the Guardian Angels on October 2.

Holy guardian angel
Now we find out the gender and age of our angel.
Angels, like people, have an age that never changes. Here's how to recognize it. You need to add the date and month of your birth. For example, if you were born on October 5, then the calculations will be: 0+5+1+0=6. In this example, the angel is only 6 years old, however, no one knows how many centuries in a row he has been 6 years old. But your angel looks exactly his age.
In order to find out what gender your angel is, you need to add up all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, 05.10.1986 = 0+5+1+0+1+9+8+6= 30. Now the number must be reduced to a single digit: 3+0=3. The resulting odd number indicates that the angel is female. If the single-digit number turns out to be even, then in this case the angel is male.
Thus, in our example it turned out that the angel is a six-year-old girl.
Now let's talk about effective ways, with which you can find out the name of your angel.
When you find out the name of your guardian angel, it will be much easier for you to establish a connection with him. When a person is in constant contact with his mentor, he is always under his protection. It is almost impossible to damage such a person or harm him in any way. Among other things, he is lucky in the most difficult and dead-end situations.
Now we will talk about techniques with which you can get to know your angel. Looking ahead a little, we note that the name of your angel can be very unusual. There is no need to take it for nonsense, because disbelief can offend the divine essence.
In this case, it is better to concentrate and say the name several times; you will probably be able to find in it secret meaning. Sometimes angels do not want to write in the letters we are familiar with, using unfamiliar signs and symbols. They add up to exactly what you are looking for, but you will have to decipher your angel's message.
Guardian Angel by name
So how do you find out his name?
The first way is writing. But for this you must be able to enter a trance. You need to put a piece of paper and a pen in front of you, evoke a special state of consciousness, mentally call your angel and ask his name. If everything works out correctly, your guardian will write his name with your hand.
It will also help to know the name of meditation. The angel does not necessarily have to answer your question during it. You may dream of the answer, and not even immediately, but after a few days. If you do not get an answer to your question, then you were probably not concentrated enough, and your angel was offended due to the large number of extraneous thoughts during such an important meeting.
Another way is dreams. It will be a plus if a person has learned to lucid dream. You will be able to call your guardian while traveling through the hidden corners of your subconscious and ask what his name is. If you can't see lucid dreams, then before going to bed, mentally ask the angel a question. Most likely, the answer will come in a dream.
Guardian angels of man
Is it possible to see your angel?
The angel is often depicted as young man with a naked cross, a sword and white wings. Such images began to appear only in the 16th century. Before this period, in Byzantine iconography, which has existed since the 11th century, they are not there at all. It is believed that the angel's face is hidden from people.
A person can see it only after death, when an angel comes to a dying person with the goal of leading his soul to the afterlife. Hence the conclusion that no one saw the angels. However, you can try to see the face of your guardian in a dream. Again, if you know what lucid dreams are, then you can call your angel, ask his name and establish a connection with him.
We know from the lives of the saints that very rarely angels show their faces to people. In the vast majority of cases, they help their charges while remaining in the shadows.
How many angels does each person have?
A lot of people are concerned about this issue. Many people believe that there can only be one guardian angel, but this is not always the case. An ordinary, average person can “have at his disposal” from one to nine patrons. St. Nicholas had the largest number of angels - 27.
The more angels a person has, the happier and luckier he is. He solves everything easily life difficulties and quickly achieves its goals. People who are abandoned by angels are called losers. However, angels can return to any person. To do this, you need to do good without expecting gratitude, and live according to your conscience. You can also read a prayer to your angel to attract his attention.

Are there icons of the Guardian Angel named after a person?
The icon of the Guardian Angel named after a person is an obvious myth. There is a Guardian Angel, and there is a saint in whose honor you were given a name at baptism. Both are your patrons, but they are completely different personalities. This fact is proven, among others, by the existence of separate prayers to the Guardian Angel and the saint to whom you wish to turn. They should pray in the morning - first to the angel, and then to the saint.
Guardian Angels named after a person are a myth. Only a saint wears the same thing as you, and it was given in his honor and has been known to you since baptism. You can turn through prayer to any of the saints - you will be heard not only by the one in whose honor you were given a name at baptism. There are many recommendations regarding the suitability of saints and situations in which it is customary to ask for their help.
For example, they pray to Saint Matrona to get rid of infertility. There is only one angel, but there are exceptions, which you can read about below.
Guardian Angel in Orthodoxy - find out age and gender
Angels also have an age, but it never changes. In addition, you can find out his gender.
If you are wondering who protects you from life's adversities, add up the numbers of the day and month of your birth. For example, for someone born on August 8, the calculations will be as follows: 0+8+0+8 = 16 In our example, the angel is only 16 years old, but how many centuries in a row he is sixteen is unknown. However, he looks exactly that age.
In order to find out the gender, you need to sum up all the numbers of the date of birth. For example, in our example with the date 08/08/1996, the calculations will be as follows: loading... 0+8+0+8+1+9+9+6 = 41 Now we reduce the number to a single-digit form: 4+1 = 5 5 - an odd number, means the angel refers to female. If the number were even, the angel's gender would be male.
So, in our example it turns out that the angel is a sixteen-year-old girl.
How to find out the name of your angel - effective ways
If you know the name of your angel, it will be much easier for you to establish contact with him. People who are in constant interaction with their heavenly patron, are always protected. It is almost impossible to damage them or harm them in any other way. They are lucky even in the most difficult situations.
Next, we will describe techniques that are a kind of acquaintance with the Guardian Angel. Looking ahead, keep in mind that the name may be very unusual. Do not take it for nonsense; disbelief can offend an entity close to God. Try to concentrate better and say the name several times - perhaps you will find a secret meaning in it.
Sometimes angels do not want to write letters familiar to their wards and use unfamiliar symbols and signs. Rest assured, they add up to what you were looking for, but the angelic message will have to be deciphered. So how do you find out your angel's name?
The first method is mechanical writing. To do this you need to be able to go into a trance. Place a pen and paper in front of you, evoke a special state of consciousness, mentally call your guardian and ask his name. If you do everything right, the angel will write his name with your hand. Meditation can help you find out who your Guardian Angel is by name in Orthodoxy.
He doesn’t necessarily have to answer during it; he might even dream about it, even after a few days. If there is no answer from the angel, most likely you did not concentrate enough, and the angel was offended by the abundance of extraneous thoughts in your head during such an important meeting.
Another way is sleep. If you have learned to be aware of dreams, this will be a plus. You can call on your protector as you journey through the depths of your subconscious and ask for his name. If this is not available to you, ask the question mentally before you fall asleep. Most likely, the angel will answer it in your dream.
The face of an angel - can you see it?
In iconography, the Guardian Angel is usually depicted as a young youth with white wings, a drawn sword and a cross. His images appeared only in the 16th century, while Byzantine iconography, examples of which date back to the 11th century, does not contain them at all. It is believed that the face of an angel is hidden from people. You can see him only after death - the Guardian Angel appears to the dying person to become the guide of his soul to the afterlife.
The logical conclusion follows from this: no one has seen the Guardian Angels. Even if we assume that the icon painter died and was resurrected after this, he could only capture his patron, because it is known that every person has his own angel, or even more than one. But you can try to see the face of the guardian in a dream.
Again, if you know how to control dreams, you can try to call the angel, ask for the name and try to make contact. From the lives of saints it is known that sometimes angels show their faces to people, but this is very rare. Usually they prefer to help their charges while remaining invisible.
How many angels does a person have according to Orthodoxy?
Many people are concerned about the question of how many angels a person has according to Orthodoxy. Most people believe that there can only be one Guardian Angel, but this is not so. The number of patrons depends on the level of spirituality of a person. In fact, the average person can have from one to nine angels.
The largest number of them patronized Saint Nicholas - he had 27 guardians. The more patrons a person has, the luckier and happier he is. He finds it easy to solve problems and achieve goals. Losers are people who are abandoned by their angels.
They can return, and for this you need to live according to your conscience, do good and not expect gratitude for it. You can also read a prayer appeal to the Guardian Angel to attract the attention of divine forces.
With the help of magic you can increase the number of guardians. Usually, we're talking about about black magic. However, the defenders summoned with its help will be related to dark angels, spirits of dead people, demons and other evil spirits.
According to legends, most sorcerers have demon assistants who do not allow his soul into the afterlife. That is why black magicians die hard and for a long time - until they succeed in passing on the dark gift and demons to the next bearer. In general, every person should know how to establish contact with his personal guardian, given by the Lord.
With the help of simple manipulations you can find out the name, age, character and even gender of your patron. However, you can only see it in a dream or after death. There may be more than one angel; many people receive protection from two or more guardians.
Guardian angel...
It is believed that every person has at least one Guardian Angel; he is given to us at birth and accompanies us throughout our lives.
(Although my personal observation is that many have two or even three Guardian Angels, one of which is the Maternal, or Guardian Angel of the Family.)
Sometimes in life it happens that a baby, a child, an infant becomes a Guardian Angel:
And his power is also very pure and great!
The Guardian Angel drives away all misfortunes from us and in difficult moments calls on other angels to help us. He communicates with us every day, but for some reason we believe that this is our inner voice, intuition, instinct, etc. although in fact these are tips from the Guardian Angel.
How can you get your Guardian Angel to help you? Yes, very simple. It's enough just to ask him about it. The Guardian Angel is waiting for us to give him a task. They themselves never interfere in our affairs until we ourselves ask to do something.
Therefore, if you are in dire need of something or need help, ask the Guardian Angel for it, just remember, the Guardian Angel carries out only good deeds, he cannot harm or cause evil.
Don't wait for that Your wish will come true instantly, the Guardian Angel may have his own opinion on this matter and he himself decides when your wish should come true, be patient and your wish will definitely come true, unless, of course, you change your mind and wish something opposite.
Guardian Angels are endowed with limitless possibilities, and if you want your Guardian Angel to become even stronger and help you as often as possible, for this you need to communicate with your Guardian Angel more often, thank him for his help, you don’t have to do it out loud, it’s enough contact him mentally.
If you have something very important coming up for you, turn to your Guardian Angel, ask him for help, ask him to be with you and guide you.
Angels do not like swear words, they generally do not like it when they swear, they do not like tobacco smoke and cannot stand the smell of alcohol. They get sick from negative energy.
To determine the age of your Guardian Angel, you need to add the number of your birth + month, i.e., if my birthday is October 30, then my Guardian Angel is 40 years old and it will always be like that, angels do not age.
The Guardian Angel, like you, has its own element. The element of your Guardian Angel is the second digit in your date of birth. That is, if the date of birth is the 30th, then the element number is 0, if it were just the 3rd number, then the number is 3. And then we look at the number we need below and use it to determine the element.
1 – Holiness. Beautiful face. Light halo. They say that the angels in most paintings were copied from them. Their invisible wings cover the whole world like a blanket. These are the kindest angels.
They will never calmly watch a person feel bad. Be it their charges or other people. The “owners” of such angels are usually also very kind.
2 – Light. Light sunny angels with large white wings. If this angel kisses you on the cheek, then a freckle appears on that spot. Every freckle on your face is a kiss from a solar angel. He constantly wants to contact you: dream, appear in the mirror, send a sign.
3 – Air. An angel woven from air and wind, of vague outlines. The wings are large, but invisible. He is very carefree, often goes away, but if you ask him, he will smash himself into a cake to please the “master”!
4 – Wisdom. Angels of rare wisdom and intuition. This is often passed on to their owners. Typically, the “owners” of such angels succeed in their studies and careers. It is also important that these angels always manage to suggest correct solution or exit!
5 – Metal. Brave protective angels. Cold and strong wings. It usually comes when you're crying. The more tears you shed, the more painful it is for him, and the stronger he becomes. But this does not mean that he leaves you when you laugh, if you feel good, then he feels good too. Owners of such angels live a very long time.
6 – Rainbow. Bright angels with colorful wings like a butterfly. A real treasure. They play a wonderful flute and violin, dispelling any melancholy and boredom with their melody. Their students are bright, creative personalities.
7 – Energy. Change shapes and colors. The wings are the same. Clumps of energy depending on mood. Therefore, these are the most touchy angels. At the same time, they are loyal and always warn us through prophetic dreams.
8 – Man. No different in appearance from ordinary people. There are no wings. Usually, these angels are the souls of deceased relatives or acquaintances who loved you during life. Very caring angels. They follow their owner's heels and never leave them unattended.
9 – Warm. Angels are optimists. Warm wings, fluffy and soft like a kitten’s paw. These angels usually take the form of our friends or animals in order to be closer. They give their owners harmony and agreement.
0 – Fire. They are reborn like phoenixes, therefore invincible. Fire wings. They always want to help, in every little way. Nothing is impossible for them. The “owners” of such angels are always called lucky.
Take care of your Guardian Angel, they are gentle and vulnerable creatures. And remember: An Angel is not a person, but a highest Spiritual Essence, a piece of Divine Energy sent to us from Above for help and grace.
