On this day, women with these four names traditionally receive congratulations on their Name Day, whilst other women are sure to pray to the saints for protection and blessings. Radio Maximum has compiled the best Name Day greetings.
» » Among the people, 17 September is also known as ‘All Women’s Name Day’ or ‘Women’s Festival’. According to tradition , this day always began with women weeping, which served as a kind of talisman. Even those women who had nothing to complain about would begin to wail and lament in the morning. They wept not for their own fate, but for that of their family and loved ones.
In folk tradition, tears are not only an expression of sadness and grief, but also a form of ritual behaviour. In ancient times, it was believed that if you wept on 17 September, nothing bad would happen to you or your loved ones for the whole year .

Sophia once gave birth
Three beautiful daughters:
Love, Hope and Faith,
And the world immediately became a kinder place.
On this special day, I wish for you
May love be with you,
May Faith warm your soul,
and that Hope may preserve your peace!
****
On this day, I extend my best wishes
To all who hold love dear,
Who never lose hope,
And who find faith once more.
May virtue remain in the heart,
And remain there forever,
And may the soul, like the first ray of light,
Remain pure!

May Faith, Hope and Love
Never be forgotten by the people!
May your health be as strong as flint,
May family happiness protect you,
May joy always be at your doorstep,
And may misfortune be on a distant and eternal journey.
May your Guardian Angel fly by your side,
Protecting you from harm wherever you go,
May every moment bring you joy,
And may the Lord’s grace be with you.
****
I wish you the respect of your fellow human beings.
Good health,

May your destiny
be like a fairy tale,
May your heart sing,
And every misfortune pass you by.
May an angel watch over
Your soul and body.
And may the Lord grant you
Everything you have asked for.
****
May the angel bestow the tenderness of heaven,
With a magical brush, may they paint upon your heart,
Bright hopes and beautiful dreams,
Sincere love, joy and happiness.
Happy Name Day, Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and Sofia!
On this day, married women should place two candles in church beside the icon of Jesus Christ and another one – at night – on the loaf, and recite the words of peace 40 times. In the morning, the loaf should be shared amongst all family members, including pets. This ritual brings peace and cosiness into the home.
