Joseph the Songwriter, reverend, April 17 (4). Born in Sicily in a pious Christian family. He became a monk at the age of 15. Then, in a difficult time for the church of iconoclastic persecution, he ended up in Constantinople, preaching on the streets of the city, visiting the houses of the Orthodox, asserting them against heretics. Orthodox monks chose Joseph as an envoy to the Pope to inform him of the danger threatening the church. During the journey, Joseph was captured by Arab robbers and sent to the island of Crete. There he spent six years in prison and gained freedom only with the death of the iconoclast emperor Leo the Armenian.

Joseph built a church in Constantinople in the name of the Apostle Bartholomew, he wanted to solemnly honor his memory, but lamented that there were no laudatory chants that glorified the memory of the saint. On the eve of the feast of the apostle, Bartholomew himself appeared to him at the altar and blessed him to write church hymns. They wrote about their strength and spirit as follows: “When he began to write poetry, his ears struck with the wonderful pleasantness of the sound, and struck the heart with the power of thoughts ...” Joseph reposed at a ripe old age in 883.

The Monk Joseph was born in 1440 and at the age of 20 he chose the path of monastic deeds. After spending about 18 years in the monastery of the Monk Paphnutius of Borovsky, the monk decided to found a new monastery with a strict cenobitic charter and fulfilled his intention on the lands of the Volokolamsk principality.

The monastery of St. Joseph brought up a whole school of famous monks. The monk himself in everything served as an example to the brethren. Many lay people went to him for spiritual advice, and the needy for help; at other times, the monastery fed up to 700 people every day.

In a difficult time for the Russian Church, the Lord raised up Saint Joseph to fight the heresy of the Judaizers that threatened the Church, and the confessional labors of the monk and his colleague Saint Gennady of Novgorod were crowned with the victory of Orthodox dogma.

The Monk Joseph reposed peacefully in his monastery in 1515, at the age of 76.

Famous people with the name Joseph

Osip Mikhailovich de Ribas (1749-1800), a Spaniard by nationality, was born in Naples. At the age of 17, he began serving as an officer, and in 1769 he entered the fleet as a volunteer. During the stay of Count A.G. Orlov with a squadron in Livorno, he managed to acquire the position of the count. He took part in the capture of an impostor posing as the daughter of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, Tarakanova, after which he was sent by Orlov to Petersburg. On the way to Russia, he very deftly found out from his companion, a Russian officer, about the state of affairs at court, about influential people, and upon arrival in St. Petersburg he quickly found himself a patron in the person of I.I. Betsky, a statesman under Catherine II, and through him became known to the Empress herself.

In 1776, Ribas married the beloved maid of honor of Catherine II and the pupil of Betsky A.I. Sokolova. The wedding took place in the presence of the Empress herself.

Soon, O. de Ribas acquired a new patron - the famous G.A. Potemkin, whom he managed to please with a project to improve the fleet. His further fate continued under the command of Potemkin in the south, where he rose to the rank of major general. During his service in the Navy in 1791 he was renamed rear admiral.

During the 2nd Turkish War, de Ribas showed outstanding courage and was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir 3 and 2 degrees, St. George 3 and 2 degrees, a diamond sword and 800 souls of peasants. In 1789, he took the Turkish fortress of Khadzhibei and, drawing attention to its favorable location, presented a project for the foundation of a port in its place - Odessa, the construction of which was started under his supervision. The future showed that de Ribas was not mistaken. In honor of the founder of Odessa, one of its main streets is called Deribasovskaya. In 1793 he was awarded the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky, promoted to vice admiral and appointed commander of the Black Sea Rowing Fleet.

Osip de Ribas managed to hold on both during the rule of the favorite of the Empress P. Zubov and under the new autocrat. Paul I in 1798 appointed him a member of the Admiralty Board. In 1799 he was promoted to admiral and appointed manager of the Forest Department. In 1800, for abuses in the forest part, he was dismissed, but for the presented project for the strengthening of Kronstadt he was again accepted into service and determined to correct the Kronstadt fortifications.

Ribas became famous for his cunning, which can be characterized by the words of A. Suvorov about M. Kutuzov: "... even Ribas will not deceive him." The moral level of Osip de Ribas was low, and he did not stop at anything to achieve his goal. In embezzlement, he knew no limits: according to Count F V. Rostopchin, Ribas stole more than half a million rubles annually. Despite this, Ribas was a useful figure. Bezborodko said of him that he was "a man of excellent abilities and concepts in business." He was distinguished by a flexible mind, quick wit, extensive memory, outstanding abilities and cunning.

The passion of Osip de Ribas was the drafting of projects, for which he spent sleepless nights. In his youth, he was engaged in inventions in terms of mechanics and even presented a project for a bridge across the Neva. In his mature years, he was occupied with issues of national importance, up to a conspiracy against the emperor. At the end of 1799, Count N.P. Panin, the English posadnik Whitworth and Ribas plotted against Paul I.

A contemporary wrote: "According to the general opinion, he was the first to plot against him, and it remains in doubt whom he would have betrayed: him - to the conspirators, or the conspirators - to him?" The death of Ossip de Ribas on December 2, 1800 leaves this question open.

Other

Since ancient times, people have known that the name is sacred. Even then it was known - if you name the boat incorrectly, it will not float. Therefore, the choice of a name for the child was approached with all responsibility. With the advent of Christianity, the child was often called according to the holy calendar. It was believed that this helps children find guardian angels. In addition, people believed that in this way it was possible to influence the future character of the baby. For example, those named after Anastasia are mostly proud people. From Greek it is translated as "resurrected". Therefore, people with this name will not have problems in overcoming life's difficulties. But Joseph is translated differently by different peoples.

Name Joseph: origin

It is believed that its progenitor was the Jewish people. In Russia, it was transformed from the hero Yosef. It literally translates as "God reward". In other words, it had to be understood as the fact that God would give and increase everything. Among Muslims, the name Joseph was transformed into Yusuf - one of the prophets. In general, among the Asian peoples, you can find different variants of it - Zhusup, Zhusip, Yosop and Yosyf.

Now the name Joseph is rare. More often children are called Osips. What is the interpretation of this name. In Orthodoxy, name days are appointed in accordance with the holy calendar. In the Catholic Church, the patron angel is Saint Joseph.

Joseph - the meaning of the name in childhood

No wonder they say that children "similar" to their names. Therefore, do not neglect his choice. So, Joseph in childhood is not distinguished by a complaisant disposition. Most often, their feature becomes extreme irritability. It lasts for seven years, the character is leveled by school. Up to this point, parents should be patient and calmly find out what the child wants. From childhood, Joseph is distinguished by whims and a pathological craving for lies.

At school, the boy's character becomes calmer. True, during puberty there is a danger of making a teenager's self-esteem extremely vulnerable and sensitive to criticism. In the future, this can develop into serious violations in the nature of the individual.

Another feature of the bearers of the name Joseph is respect for the female sex from an early age. If he likes a girl, then he sincerely protects and protects her, gives gifts. From his side there will be only tenderness and care. Even in adulthood, Joseph remains a gallant gentleman.

Dangerous sides of the name Joseph

Few parents know that Joseph is a name that is often associated with certain difficulties. In an unfavorable set of circumstances, there is a risk of raising a person of not the best stock. Because of their sensitive soul and vulnerable pride, such people become extremely irritable and react negatively to any criticism.

By the way, people named Joseph are resistant to addictions. Therefore, it is almost impossible to meet among them drug addicts or alcoholics.

Adulthood

Much depends not only on how a person was called, but also on how he was brought up, in what environment he grew up. In general, the young man will be distinguished by kindness and complaisance. He is a skilled craftsman and will fix everything at home. Apparently, thanks to the biblical origin of the name, Joseph grows up so accommodating. The mystery of the name endows it with protection from temptation. It is difficult to find a more highly moral and moral person than the bearer of this name. He will always come to the rescue of his friends.

purpose

Joseph is a biblical name. Perhaps that is why its owner will make a good religious figure. Or esotericists are advised to pay attention to the sphere of politics or any social activity.

Separately, it is worth considering the connection with the nature of people named Joseph. The meaning of the name, as mentioned earlier, is "God will multiply." Remember who Jesus Christ was by profession? The correct answer is carpenter. His father, by the way, was called Joseph (meaning the earthly father). Therefore, the bearers of this name can choose to work as a woodcarver or a forester. Creative specialties, especially journalism, are not alien to them. According to numerologists, Joseph achieves great success in the field of art or trade.

sex life

Few people think about the fact that the name leaves an imprint on the intimate side of life. How would you characterize people named Joseph in this question? The meaning of the name indicates that they have at least two children (since God gives everything, including fertility). As a rule, Joseph becomes an excellent father and vehemently takes care of his children.

However, Josephs often marry multiple times. In the first union, they are often unhappy. The thing is that such men are usually indifferent to sex and do not have a hot temperament. Therefore, many women remain dissatisfied with the intimate side of marriage and file for divorce. Of course, a not very active sex life can negatively affect the young man's self-esteem, but he will not make love against his will.

Woman for Joseph

Like any man, Joseph should think about choosing a life partner. Then his marriage will be happy. So, a girl who has an extremely strong-willed character and perseverance will become an ideal companion for him. She will need to organize her life perfectly. It is important to become for Joseph not just a wife, but a muse, an inspirer. She will need to instill confidence in her chosen one over and over again. With such support, Joseph achieves maximum success. The meaning of the name of this man is not in vain - "God gives everything." A good option: the woman is older than her partner. It is important that she be undemanding to the intimate side of marriage.

Name Numerology

It has long been clear to all esotericists that a combination of factors influences the formation of personality. For example, in addition to an astrological forecast, they make a numerological one. It is based on a series of numbers calculated in a special way. So, Joseph is a name that is under the auspices of the number five.

People born under this number are distinguished by freedom and independence. From an early age, they are distinguished by special stubbornness, unwillingness to listen to anyone's advice and accept them. For boys, the most important thing will be to get their experience and manage things based on it. It is not in their nature to sit in one place, they love to travel. Therefore, their element is trade. The main pitfall is the desire to avoid responsibility.

Famous personalities

Before giving a name to a child, look at the people who bore it. It is best to take an example from historical figures. For example, Joseph Brodsky was distinguished by a difficult character from childhood. In Soviet times, he openly played with fire, not wanting to write poetry pleasing to the authorities. Friends repeatedly warned him about the likely threat, but the poet did not listen to them. He experienced serious mental trauma, as he was betrayed by his beloved woman.

As you remember, Joseph's name means "God has given everything." If we take Brodsky's personality, he ideally realized himself in creativity, having achieved unprecedented success. But his life can hardly be called easy.

Another famous person, already from our days, is Joseph Prigogine. He also connected his life with creativity, becoming a producer. Well-known organizer of concerts and other performances. From childhood, he was distinguished by extreme diligence. From the age of 12 he worked as a hairdresser in his native Makhachkala. Then he rushed to the capital of Russia, sincerely wanting to succeed in the field of the artist. I have been looking for myself for a long time. Unfortunately, Iosif Prigogine suffered a complete failure in marriage. His conflicts with his ex-wife have already become public. money has become, and screenshots of correspondence between father and daughter are actively circulating on the network. The “happy daddy” himself repeatedly lashed out with angry criticism at his offspring, calling them mediocre and losers.

In general, if you look at the examples, Joseph Brodsky is a famous and successful person who was able to make his name in history forever. And one can also say kind words about I. Prigogine. And failures happen in the life of everyone, even the most talented and famous person.

P. Rouge: esoteric opinion

The secret of the name is considered by many experts in different ways. So, Pierre Rouget believes that Joseph has the meaning of the name - "those who will come to us." Such people are the most mysterious and balanced personalities. The basis of their character is will and activity. Therefore, if desired, they achieve great status. Interesting fact: their totem is a chestnut tree. Remember its fruits? Nut under a dense shell.

Negative personality traits include increased distrust and unwillingness to listen to others. Joseph is demanding of himself and expects the same from everyone else. Prone to depression, this is especially noticeable in the example of Brodsky, whose gloomy poems have long become classics of the genre.

But on the positive side, one cannot find a more diligent person than Joseph. He is decent, which is an advantage for professions related to money. As a friend, it is difficult to find a more reliable person. These are such interesting and extraordinary personalities - people named Joseph. The origin of the name is connected with biblical stories, and this imposes certain obligations on a person.

In any case, remember that in the end, much depends on the bearer of the name, rather than on esoteric knowledge. Do not forget about the environment in which the child will grow up.
