Rev. Helen of Serbia, the Queen is my heavenly patroness. Memorial Day November 12th.

The Orthodox Encyclopedia claims that she was Catholic. On all other sites there is a more logical narrative: before marriage to the Serbian king Stefan Uros I Nemanich, St. Elena converted to Orthodoxy.

Rev. Helena came from the French royal family. Having adopted Orthodoxy, she married the king of Serbia, Stefan Uros I Nemanich, gave birth and raised the holy saints Milutin and Dragutin. As a queen, Elena became famous for her good deeds: reconciliation of internecine strife, charity of orphans, rich contributions to the monasteries of the Holy Land, Holy Mountain, Sinai and Serbia. After the death of her husband, Elena devoted herself to the exploits of piety: she did good to orphans, sacrificed to monasteries and built new churches, took care of the love and consent of her sons, cared for the protection and enlightenment of her people. Before her death, Queen Elena received monastic tonsure with the name Elizabeth in the Church of St. Nicholas in Skadra. She died on February 8, 1314 in her royal court in Brnyatsi.

Equal to the Apostles Olga (baptized Helen), Grand Duchess of Russia. Memorial Day July 24th.

The grandmother of Russian saints, of whom more than 50, is called the Grand Duchess Olga, equally apostolic. It was she who first in Russia adopted Christianity in the Greek rite and contributed to the spread of the Christian religion in Russian land.

Nestor the Chronicler calls her that in The Tale of Bygone Years: “The Forerunner of the Christian Land, like the Day of the Sun and the Day of the Light.”

  In the world - Elena Vasilyevna Manturova, sister of Mikhail Vasilyevich Manturov, closest friend and student of St. Seraphim of Sarov. Pr Elena, according to the vow given to the Most Holy Theotokos, went to the monastery, where she was obedient to pr. Seraphim of Sarov. With his blessing, she became the head of the Mill Monastery and died of her brother for his blessing. She lived in the monastery until the age of 27. Before her death, Elena Vasilievna was honored with many wonderful visions. Seeing the moment of the death of the reverend spirit, Father Seraphim sent everyone to Diveevo: “Rather, come to the monastery soon, our great mistress went to the Lord!” On the fortieth day after her death, Father Seraphim predicted that “over time, her relics would openly rest in the cloister ".

Born in 1874. We know very little about her life. It is known that on September 17, 1943 she suffered a martyrdom, having suffered for Christ at the hands of the atheistic authorities. By the definition of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church of December 26, 2006, the martyr Elena was canonized.

For a long time, she lived at the monastery under trial, passing various obediences, and only in 1913 by the decree of the Spiritual Consistory she was designated among the sisters of the monastery. After some time, mother Elena was transferred to the Kazan Mokshan monastery. After the dispersal of this monastery in 1917, she returned to the village in which she was born. She had her own house, and she independently ran a household, but continued monastic life and lived in girlhood.
In 1932, mother Elena moved to the village of Shadym, Kovlkinsky District, Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

She maintained friendly relations with the former inhabitants of closed monasteries, knew many priests.

Rev. Martyr Elena (Korobkova). Memorial Day on May 25 (June 7) and on the day of the celebration of the Council of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.

  Rev. Martyr Elena was born in 1879 in the village of Maleevo, Volokolamsk Uyezd in the Moscow province, in the family of a peasant Pyotr Korobkov, who later served as clerk in an English store in St. Petersburg, and was baptized Elizabeth in baptism. Father died when Elizabeth was fourteen, and she lived in the village with her mother. By this time, Elizabeth graduated from a village school and, when she was twenty-four years old, entered one of the monasteries in the Moscow province, where she was until it was closed during the persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church during the Soviet era; here she took monastic tonsure with the name Elena. After the monastery was closed, she settled at the Trinity Church in the town of Skhodnya, Solnechnogorsky District, Moscow Region, where she sang on the choir and did needlework, earning a living by sewing blankets.
In 1937, not only clergymen, but also active parishioners began to be arrested. Together with such a group of parishioners, the nun Elena was arrested. The arrest certificate accused her of "distributing church literature to the faithful, the so-called spiritual Trinity leaflets ... she is churchly counter-revolutionary and still does not abandon her counter-revolutionary church activity."
Nun Elena was arrested on October 29, 1937 and imprisoned at the regional department of the NKVD in Solnechnogorsk. During interrogation, the investigator asked her:
“You, being familiar with churchmen ... and nuns, gathered at each other, discussed issues against the Soviet regime, and conducted counter-revolutionary activities?”
“I visited believers and churchmen,” the nun answered, “but we did not discuss issues against the Soviet regime, and I did not conduct counter-revolutionary activities.
On this, the interrogations were completed, and the nun Elena was transferred to the Tagansky prison in Moscow; On November 15, 1937, a troika at the UNKVD in the Moscow Region sentenced her to ten years in a forced labor camp. Nun Elena (Korobkova) died in custody on June 7, 1938 and was buried in an unknown grave.

(“Ipomoni” - (Greek Υπομονή) - “patience”)

  Saint Ipomoni, in the world Elena Dragash, wife of Manuel II Paleolog, “Elena Paleolog in Christ the God of August and Empress of Rome”, was the daughter of Konstantin Dragash, one of the many heirs of the great Serbian king Stephen Dusan. Thus, she came from a blessed royal family. Among her ancestors there are also saints: Stefan Nemania, Serbian king and clerk of the holy monastery of Hilandariu of Mount Athos (Rev. Simeon the Myrrh-streaming). Konstantin Dragash became the ruler of the modern Bulgarian part of northeastern Macedonia, an area located between the Axios and Strimon rivers. The birth of Helen (1450) dates back to the years shortly after the death of Dushan. Her upbringing, education and training were imbued with everything that prescribed high Byzantine ideals, since the Serbs were strongly influenced by Byzantine culture. Elena identified herself more precisely with Byzantine national identity and culture. With all her feelings and being, she was drawn to Byzantium, which she was to become Augustus and the Empress, despite her Serbian origin.

Moreover, she absorbed the traditional Orthodox faith in her family with her mother’s milk. And this faith will guide, enlighten and inspire the saint in her difficult life, full of sorrows and trials.

According to the church calendar, Helena's birthday is celebrated several times a year. All the days of the month are dedicated to some saint, usually remembered on the day of their death on earth, when they go to eternity and meet with God.

On the day of Baptism, a Guardian Angel is assigned to man by God, this day is revered throughout life as the day of the Angel. Name days are celebrated on the day of remembrance of that Saint in whose honor the parents named the child.

If this is not known, or the name was given “just like that”, a person can choose for himself the Holy Patron, as a rule - by the closest date to his birthday, and worship Him all his life.

When is Angel's Day at Elena

So, we figured out how the day of the Angel differs from the day of the name day. Therefore, we will look at the days on which the birthday of girls and girls bearing the name Elena is celebrated.

Rev. Elena Diveevskaya "Manturova"

The venerable was called Elena Vasilievna, whose father was a titular adviser. The education of an orphaned girl was dealt with by a brother, whose name was Mikhail.

At 17, after a terrible vision on the road, when returning from a funeral from the city of Knyagin, her life changed. Having made a promise to the Most Holy Theotokos to devote herself to God, the young noblewoman began to be interested in spiritual books and pray a lot.

The girl wanted to become a nun, but she did not receive blessings from this from the Monk Seraphim of Sarov, he insisted on her marriage, predicting her a pious Bridegroom. After this meeting, Elena spent about three years locked up, closing herself in a room and turning her back on the world.

Having nevertheless received a blessing on the expectation of the Bridegroom in the community of Diev, she lived there until her imminent death, and there she was tonsured at the Riasophore.

Those around her noted her ability to “reason with her heart”, it was typical for her to do as God pleased, and to see the boundary between good and evil.

The Monk Helen died after several days of illness, before the death of the Saint, she was able to see various wonderful visions. At the grave of St. Many miracles and healings took place of Elena Diveevskaya, and her imperishable relics were found in September 26, 2000 (another Holy Memorial Day) and have since been kept in the monastery.

Holy Martyr Elena, daughter of the Apostle Alpheus

On June 8, in the holy days there is another day in memory of St. Helena - they remember the martyr Helena, daughter of the Apostle Alpheus, the successor of the affairs of her holy father.

For firmness in faith, for the confession of Jesus Christ, the Holy One was thrown up with cobblestones to death.

Saint Equal-to-the-Apostles Elena of Constantinople

The saint was named the queen who lived in the third century near Constantinople, who gave birth to the future emperor. All the activity of the ruler of the Roman Empire was aimed at establishing the state Christian religion.

His mother, sv. Elena, not just spreading the Christian faith and raised her son in it, she was engaged in excavations in Jerusalem.

Christian chroniclers claim that it was then that holy relics were discovered, among them the Holy Cross and the Holy Sepulcher. St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Helena was the founder of temples and monasteries in the Holy Land. Elena of Constantinople is remembered by the Orthodox Church on June 3.

Rev. Martyr Elena (Korobkova)

Korobkova Elizabeth was called upon tonsuring a nun named Elena. A girl from a peasant family graduated from high school, lost her father at age 14, and became a nun at age 24. With the establishment of the power of the Soviets, the monastery was closed, and the nun moved to the Trinity Church.

In times of persecution, priests and parishioners were arrested. The nun Elena was guilty of distributing church literature and conducting counter-revolutionary activities. After interrogations, she was kept in the Tagansk prison in Moscow. By the verdict of the “troika”, Elena Korobkova was sent to the camp for 10 years, where she died.

• helped orphans;
• engaged in the construction of churches.

The most important feat performed by the Holy - after the death of her husband, was able to raise her sons as pious Christians. The dying queen cut her hair as a nun. Memorial Day is November 12th.

The veneration of saints is the dogma of the Orthodox Church. Saints are our intercessors, protectors, intercessors and prayer books before the Lord God.

The veneration of the saints is expressed in the prayer of believers to them, in inviting them to intercede with the Savior for us, in veneration of the holy icons and their remains or incorrupt relics as an expensive treasure and a blessed source of our spiritual life.

Elena in Greek means torch.

Elena is a symbol of eternal femininity. She is as if deprived of age. In her youth she is occupied with “adult female” problems, and in her old age she continues to feel almost as young as in old years. But Lena is able to show flexibility in her mind when it comes to achieving the goal that she set for herself.

In Elena's behavior, an attentive person can catch some tension. Sometimes this is expressed in Elena’s restraint, it happens the other way around, when this excitement, which is not quite clear to her, makes Lena hold on somewhat ...

So, saints with the name Elena according to the Orthodox calendar 2019 are remembered 9 times.
