Great Martyr Saint Lyudmila
The patron saint of women named Luda is the Holy Great Martyr Princess Ludmila of Bohemia. She is the first patroness of the Czech Republic. It is believed that in 921 she was strangled by her own relatives, who preached a pagan religion. At this time she was 60 years old. The grandson of the Great Martyr Lyudmila later became the ruler of the state. His grandmother raised him in the traditions of Christianity.

How can you congratulate Lyudmila on Angel Day?
Each of us has at least one friend Lyudmila, and on this day we congratulate Lyuda on her little holiday - Angel Day. Every Lyuda will be pleased to receive a small token of attention on her name day, such as a small card. It’s even better if Lyudmila’s name day is marked with congratulations in verse. After all, poetry is very cute! Any friend of yours, Luda, will appreciate poems if you compose them yourself for congratulations.
In general, when people compose poems on their own in order to congratulate a loved one, they put a piece of their soul into these poems. Congratulations in verse can be funny and a little sad. It depends on the attitude of the author of the poems towards the birthday girl Lyudmila. In the case of Luda’s name day, in your own poems you can convey your special attitude towards the owner of this beautiful name. By the way, there are several variations of this name.
Shortened versions of the name Lyudmila
Origin of the name Lyudmila, character of Lyudmila
The name Lyudmila comes from the Old Church Slavonic language. Means: dear to people. The name leaves an imprint on a person’s character, so all owners of this name are really sweet, cheerful, cheerful girls and women. Who, growing up, turn into no less sweet, optimistic, cheerful and cheerful women and grandmothers Lyudmil.
And if Lyudmila’s name day coincides with her actual birthday - September 29, then all her character traits are strengthened many times over! Parents simply must name a girl born on this day Lyuda. Then on Lyudmila’s name day she will always have my sincere congratulations, poems, cards and gifts.
Unfortunately, except positive traits, the duality of the name gives the character of Lyudmila some not very good properties. This is the fragmented nature of the owner of the name. Lyudmila can be very efficient and at the same time fall into outright laziness, sometimes be strong and sometimes weak, be passionate and emotionally cold.
Lyudmilas are also very flirtatious, a little touchy, and sometimes crafty. Our Lyudmila can dote on a person today, but tomorrow she can pass by without even paying attention to him. But the most “progressive” Lyudmilas find a way out of the passions that engulf them. They constantly work on themselves, read specialized literature and undergo personal growth training. By the way, the name Lyudmila in Russia is only a female name. But, for example, in the Czech Republic there is a male version of this name - a man there can be called Lyudmil.
According to the type of appearance, Lyudmila is often blonde, although there are also brunette Lyudmila. Then these are women of strict beauty with piercing black eyes. With age, Lyudmil's beauty does not fade, but turns into a pleasant feminine appearance. Of course, there may be exceptions to this rule.
The great actress Lyudmila Gurchenko looked great even at age, always wore high heels and charming dresses, applied makeup and took care of her hair. She achieved such a result because she had an iron character and enormous power will. These same personality traits helped Lyudmila Gurchenko become not only a talented actress, but also a director, screenwriter, and singer. She lived a long and very colorful life, the whole world mourned when the actress passed away.
How to celebrate the day of Guardian Angel Lyudmila
Not every person knows when their guardian angel day is. The most famous Guardian Angel Day in our country is Tatiana's Day, which is celebrated on January 25 and coincides with Students' Day. Among the well-known days of the angel, one can also name Ilyin’s day - August 2, it is believed that on this day the water in reservoirs becomes cold and from this day on it is undesirable to swim in them.
It is also believed that Guardian Angel Day occurs only among baptized people. But in any case, there are never too many holidays, and if you have a great desire to celebrate the day of your guardian angel, no one can prohibit it! So, how can you celebrate your name day in an original way? If Angel's Day falls in the warm season - late spring or summer - you can have a great time outdoors with friends. In the summer, go to a river or lake, take badminton, frisbee with you, you can even take tents to spend the night in nature. Near the fire, sing songs with poems dedicated to the birthday boy, come up with entertaining outdoor games.
In summer, a lot of fruits ripen, it’s easy to buy delicious ripe vegetables, cool drinks - all this will help organize an unforgettable picnic in honor of the birthday angel’s day. If the day of the Guardian Angel falls on one of the winter months, then you can get out of the house with a group of friends or relatives on a frosty, clear, snowy day. Take your sleds, skis, and skates with you, because there is nothing more beautiful than active recreation in the fresh air. You can organize a competition in your company. For example, who can slide down an icy mountain on a sled the fastest, or who can do the most beautiful pirouette on ice skates. You can also ride on a cheesecake; they have been very popular lately, and unlike sleds, they are very soft and comfortable. And after this wonderful relaxation, you can warm up and raise a toast to the birthday person celebrating the day of the angel using a thermos with freshly brewed aromatic tea or coffee taken from home, while snacking on homemade pies or buns. In honor of the name day, you can fry in a beautiful winter forest delicious kebab. This holiday will be remembered for a long time for its originality.
Lyudmila's name day, which falls on September 29, can be celebrated by going to the forest to pick mushrooms. By this time, honey mushrooms will appear in the forest. You will be able to wander through the forest, rustling autumn leaves. And the birthday girl Luda can be celebrated with a royal wreath of golden maple leaves. Having collected several buckets of mushrooms, Lyudmila can prepare many delicious holiday dishes for a group of friends - fried mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, and casserole with mushrooms.

Vra-ti-slav was married to Dra-go-mir, and had a son from her, Vya-che-slava. After the death of Vra-ti-slav, 18-year-old Vya-che-slav ascended the throne. Taking advantage of the inexperience and youth of his son, Dra-go-mir began to plant pagan customs in the country -teas and morals. Holy People came back to this. Dra-go-mira fetched her mother-in-law's blood and tried to beat it. When the holy Lud-mi-la retired to the city of Te-chin, Dra-go-mira sent two warriors to her to kill her. At that time, when the holy Lu-mi-la was praying, the murderers entered the house and executed Dra-go- worlds. The relics of the holy mu-che-ni-tsy People were buried in Te-chin near the city wall. From her coffin many ill-effects began to occur. Prince Vya-che-slav carried the body of Saint Lud-mila to Prague and placed it in the church of St. George.

Princess of Bohemia

How does an icon protect, what does an icon help with,
how to pray in front of the icon of the Holy Martyr Lyudmila, Princess of Bohemia
Biography of Saint Lyudmila
The holy martyr Lyudmila lived at the end of the 9th - beginning of the 10th century. Being the daughter of a Serbian prince, Lyudmila was married to Borivoj, the ruler of the Czech Republic. Lyudmila immediately took her husband’s homeland into her heart and fell in love with the Czech people. Lyudmila and Borivoj became the first Christian princely couple in the Czech Republic. They were led to the Christian faith by the preaching of Saint Methodius, Equal-to-the-Apostles, one of the two great brothers - Slovenian teachers. Saint Methodius baptized the pious couple around 871. As true Christian rulers, Prince Borivoy and Princess Lyudmila sought to introduce all their people to the faith that had been revealed to them, built churches, and took care of the needs of the clergy.
The peaceful Christian reign was interrupted by the early death of Borivoj, who died when he was 36 years old. Saint Lyudmila, even after the death of her husband, led a strict, pious life, spent her time in prayers and works of mercy, according to the testimony of her Life, “she distributed all her property to the poor.” She continued to care for the Church during the reign of her son Vratislav. Saint Lyudmila’s favorite was her little grandson Vyacheslav (Vaclav), she raised him in the spirit of Christian commandments, and the child grew up pious and loved his grandmother very much.
Unfortunately, Vratislav's wife, Dragomira, was a Christian only in words, her soul strove for pagan amusements, but while her husband was alive, she did not give free rein to her passions. When Vratislav died, the rightful prince Vyacheslav, a pupil of Saint Lyudmila, became the ruler. But the boy who entered the reign was still very young to prevent his mother from starting the revival of the pagan world. Idol temples began to be built in the Czech Republic, and the newly enlightened people were again drawn into pagan customs.
It was very painful for Saint Ludmila to see how the sprouts of the Christian faith, so lovingly nurtured by her together with her husband, were dying, and how the Czech people were again beginning to plunge into the darkness of paganism. Saint Lyudmila openly expressed dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law. In Dragomira's soul, power-hungry ambitions were intertwined with pagan madness; from this explosive mixture, hatred of her pious mother-in-law and the plan to kill her were born.
Following the word of Scripture - to avoid all evil, Saint Lyudmila, having learned about her daughter-in-law’s decision, left the capital for the city of Techin. But this did not moderate Dragomira’s hatred, and Saint Lyudmila was strangled in Techina by assassins sent in 927. The Life of the saint says: “In this way, blessed Lyudmila, pleasing God, suffered as a martyr.” The relics of the holy martyr Lyudmila were buried in Techina near the city wall. Miraculous signs and numerous healings began to take place over her grave.
The noble Prince Vyacheslav grieved the death of his grandmother, who was spiritually closer to him than his own mother. Having learned about the miracles performed at the grave of Saint Lyudmila, the prince transferred the holy relics to the city of Prague and placed them in the Church of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious, where they rest to this day.
Vyacheslav, who was grieving the loss of his grandmother, succumbed to the sly advice of the boyars, expelled his mother Dragomira to the city of Budech. But soon the prince, raised by Saint Lyudmila in Christian traditions, remembering the commandment to honor parents, repented, realized that he had no right to judge his mother, called her back to the capital and surrounded her with respectful care and love. Dragomira's hardened heart was touched by the kindness of her Christian son, she saw with a new spiritual gaze the entire horror of the crime she had committed and, a repentant sinner, returned to the faith of Christ. “Love covers all sins” (Proverbs 10:12), having understood this truth, Dragomira became a faithful assistant to Saint Vyacheslav in matters of state and in matters of piety.
The grandson of Saint Ludmila, the holy warrior-martyr Vyacheslav, is the patron saint of the Czech land. Just as Saint Princess Olga converted her grandson Prince Vladimir to the faith, so in the Czech Republic, only a century earlier, Saint Lyudmila raised her grandson Vyacheslav in the Christian faith. Here, in Prague, everyone loves Saint Vyacheslav - both Catholics and Orthodox Christians pray to him and seek his protection.

Oh, Most Blessed Mother Lyudmila, do not forget to visit your children, even if you passed away from us to the heavenly abodes. Together with the Holy Martyr and your grandson Vyacheslav, when the youth Vyacheslav grows up, his father, your son, according to the custom of that time, ask the Bishop and the priests with all the clergy to call upon him the blessing of God. The bishop, having served in the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos, placed the youth on the steps of the temple, and blessed him as follows: “Lord God Jesus Christ, bless this youth, as you blessed your righteous ones, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and crown him, as you crowned Orthodox kings, equal to the apostles Constantine and Helen." In the same way, you, his holy foremother, ask us, sinners, for God’s blessing on our children, and on all of us, who have sinned greatly, let us thank the Lord for the gift of His grace.

Lyudmila Day 2017: history
Saint Ludmila was born into a noble Serbian family. She was given in marriage to a Czech prince.
For a long time the couple were pagans. But after they learned about Christ, the family was baptized and began to glorify the Christian faith.
It is known that the couple built many temples and also enlightened their subjects with the faith.
Even after the death of her husband, Lyudmila continued to take care of the education of the peasants and financially supported churches and temples.
After the death of the prince, the son of Saint Ludmila Bratislav and his wife Dragomira ascended the throne. And after his death, his son Vyacheslav, who was barely 18 years old, began to rule. Dragomira took advantage of this.
The woman wanted to revive paganism in the country and therefore began the persecution of Christians. Dragomira executed Christians, destroyed churches and glorified paganism.
Lyudmila came to the defense of the common people, thereby generating hatred from her daughter-in-law. People warned the Saint that Dragomira wanted to live her. Therefore, the princess took refuge in the city of Techin.
But the evil daughter-in-law found out about this place and sent the boyars to kill the princess. The attackers broke into her house and strangled Lyudmila, who was just turning to God in prayer.
Believers began to come to the burial place of the Saint.
