Who is the birthday man today?
On July 4, Alexey, Anastasia, Vasilisa, Georgy, Ivan, Maxim, Nikita, Pavel, Terenty, Fedor, Julian celebrate their name days.
Dear birthday people, please accept our congratulations on behalf of Calend.ru!
Let's talk about the name Vasilisa, which is of Byzantine origin and means "queen". Vasilisa has intelligence and beauty, nobility and grace. She loves to help people who turn to her, she takes other people's problems as her own. Vasilisa is a very responsive and gentle person, however, her gentleness is combined with stubbornness and determination. “Winter” women are especially conflicted. They have a very high opinion of themselves and want others to appreciate their person as highly. Their family life is difficult, the first marriage most often breaks up. The Vasilis literally explode at the mere hint of something that would not prevent them from being more tolerant.
