Characteristics of the birthday boy Yuri:
Slavic form from Greek name Georgy is a farmer.
The farmer is always associated with reliability, perseverance, and prudence. So is Yuri. He is persistent in achieving goals, reliable in relationships, and reasonable in everyday life.
In his career, he is capable of achieving a lot, since he hardworkingly cultivates his field, but, like a Russian peasant, he is always ready to take up the sword in order to defend with arms in hand what he is working for. This is a philosopher and warrior rolled into one. Yuri prefers to resolve conflict situations immediately and completely. If, after quarreling or arguing with him, you avoid resolving the problem, it will not be easy to regain his favor.
Yuri knows how to have fun - he is by nature cheerful, endowed with liveliness, even artistry. Therefore, it enjoys constant success among women. But Yuri is very picky in this regard, he is able to choose his soul mate for a long time, but even having found it, he will not rest on his laurels, he can continue his search while he is married. This is due to the fact that Yuri treats women with some distrust. But Yuri’s wife is like behind a stone wall: he always cares about the well-being of the family, strives to ensure that there is prosperity and comfort in the house.

† Georgy (Yuri) Vsevolodovich Vladimirsky, holy noble prince
The future holy noble Grand Duke was born in 1189. His parents were good Christians. And the little prince with early years raised to fear God. The young prince himself was drawn to Christianity: he diligently studied the Holy Scriptures, attended church, fasted and prayed. At the age of 19, the prince got married. His wife was Agafya, the daughter of the Kyiv prince. Her disposition matched her husband's - modest, religious, kind and sensitive.
At the age of 24, Georgy Vsevolodovich became the Grand Duke of Vladimir. After several years of reign, as a result of the machinations of his elder brother Konstantin, George had to leave Vladimir and reign in the small and poor town of Radilov. The humility with which George accepted his defeat and move was soon rewarded. Having fallen ill, Constantine himself called his brother, gave him the city of Suzdal to reign and appointed him as his heir. After the death of his brother, George again took the princely throne. The Grand Duke allocated cities to his sons and nephews. Being a defender of the Russian land, he protected it from foreign raids, founded Nizhny Novgorod and founded two temples in it - the All-Merciful Savior and the Archangel Michael.
Georgy Vsevolodovich gained fame as a wise ruler. Princes and clergy consulted with him. On the initiative of the prince, the relics of the martyr Abraham were transferred to Vladimir. But severe trials awaited the ruler. The Mongol-Tatar invasion swept across the lands like a black wave and was approaching the Vladimir principality. Leaving his family in the capital, the prince united with other rulers of the Russian land and moved to the banks of the City River. In the besieged city, the entire family of the Grand Duke perished. Many of those whom he called to repel the enemies did not come to help either. Georgy Vsevolodovich died in 1238 in an unequal battle with the invaders. His body was transferred to Vladimir.
Nowadays, the shrine with the holy relics of the blessed prince is in the Assumption Cathedral Church, and miraculous healings happen near it.
Days of remembrance of Prince George (Yuri) Vsevolodovich Vladimirsky on February 17 and July 6 as part of the Cathedral of Vladimir Saints.

Yuri's birthday. What does this holiday mean?
In former times, name days were only of a religious nature, but later such celebrations were given a certain secular character. However, despite the advent of such a celebration, it is believed that the name day of this or that person is a kind of holiday of the soul.
Every Orthodox believer knows that in ancient times a name was given only at the time of baptism, which often occurred at about 8 days of age. At the same time, the choice of name was involuntary, since the baby was named after one or another Saint. The day of remembrance or name day, which is located near the date of birth of the baby. Thus, religious believers believed that a child on the 8th day of birth acquires his own patron, who will protect and help the baby throughout his life. Since then, it has been customary that the name day is the date of memory of the highly revered Saint namesake, that is, the patron.
Name day traditions
In ancient times, name days were special and practically one of the most important celebrations in a person’s life at that time. The main tradition of such a day was considered to be a trip to a temple or church so that the birthday person could receive communion and confess. This act was also the main ritual of the celebration. It is also important to note that in addition to the birthday person, his relatives and close people had to come to the temple in order to order a service in the name of celebration, as well as to light a candle. The person whose name day was celebrated on this day had to place a candle near the Holy Face of his own Patron; further celebrations were in no way different from the current name days.
After confession and communion, you must return to your own home and serve a festive dinner for all family members, as well as for close and dear relatives. It is also important to note that according to ancient tradition, there should have been various dishes, but the main condition was their home cooking. Therefore, a special holiday was celebrated with the help of pies and loaves, since every Orthodox believer could not afford such baked goods at that time. The largest loaf on a name day was supposed to be taken to a neighboring house for the godparents, and other goodies and delicacies were to be taken to nearby neighbors so that they could celebrate the name day of the patron of this or that person. In ancient times, it was customary to stuff loaves and pies with a variety of berries, mushrooms, fish and even jam. At the same time, baked goods could have both an open and closed appearance. It was customary to celebrate Yuri's name day in such a way that the most beautiful and main loaf was located in the center of the festive dinner table, but at the same time the loaf should be decorated directly with the name of the hero of the occasion. Consequently, using the test, the name Yuri was placed on the loaf.
Angel's Day, or when is Yuri's name day?
The day of the angel and the man who bears the name Yuri according to the Orthodox church calendar must be celebrated depending on the date of his nearby patron.
It is also worth noting that Orthodox believers have some folk traditions and signs that are especially effective on the day of the angel Yura. Some people say that on the day of the angel of St. Yuri it is necessary to offer a prayer for the protection of girls, as well as for patronage in starting agricultural work. If Yuri’s angel day falls in the winter, then he is considered a kind of lord of wolves. There is a popular belief that on this day not a single wolf will be able to touch livestock without the command of Saint Yura.
Particularly important dates, which are Angel Day for men named Yuri is February 17 and August 13- these dates, according to the church calendar, are his name days.
What do they give for name days?
Since in ancient times name days were a spiritual holiday, therefore, gifts were appropriate. In ancient times, the optimal gift for a name day was an icon depicting the Patron Saint. Also, many people gave the birthday boy various church literature or paraphernalia.
It is important to note that in some settlements there was a tradition of giving a measured icon drawn with one’s own hands on a name day. The main condition for such a gift is that the baby’s height matches. It is important to note that it was the measured icon that was considered not only a powerful amulet, but also a kind of divine symbol, as a result of which the people to whom it was given often took it with them on a long journey. Servants of temples and churches claim that the measured Holy Face is a kind of means of communication between the patron and the birthday person himself.
Previously, measured icons were supposed to accompany Yuri throughout his life, and after his death the Holy Image was passed on to other family members in the form of an heirloom. It is also important to note that holy images could be made from the most simple materials, but it was often customary to give icons that were made from a variety of precious stones or materials. The basis for applying the drawing with one’s own hand was canvas or wood. It is also important to note that the birthday boy Yuri often valued the external beauty and the opportunity to communicate with his own patron in a gift, and not what materials the icon was made from.
