I haven't seen any mistakes so far. Auto-translator is doing a great job, lol.

Seriously, though. Your posts are fine. Perfectly fine.


I found this very interesting. Thought you might, also.

"The turquoise beaded cross, anchor and heart on this charm from Brittany symbolise the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity, which are mentioned in Paul the Apostle’s First Epistle to the Corinthians, the seventh book of the New Testament of the Bible.

According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, Faith, Hope and Charity were also the names of three noble sisters who lived in Italy during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (AD 117–138). Raised by their mother Sophia (meaning Wisdom) to be pious and devout Christians, Pistis, Elpis and Agape (Faith, Hope and Charity in Greek) were brought before the Emperor when they were just twelve, ten and nine years old. They were ... killed ... and ... buried on the Via Aurelia, a Roman road that ran from Rome to Pisa. Sophia wept over their graves for three days, before joining them in death. The memories of these child martyrs and their mother are celebrated on 17 September in the Eastern Orthodox Church."

Yes, it's a powerful story.
We have this holiday on September 30th, not the 17th, (it's moved two weeks later)
It is curious that in the Middle Ages this day was considered a holiday of women. In Russia, this holiday was otherwise known as the universal women's name day.

On September 30, it is customary to make pilgrimage trips to the relics of Saints Vera, Hope and Love. The main place of worship used to be the church in the small town of Echaux in the south of France, but later the relics of the martyrs were moved to the Champ de Mars in Paris.

The irony is that I don't really know English, auto-translator helps me))) I of course try to check several times, pick up words, but I feel insecure. So I will be grateful and understand if you point out not incorrect things (if there will be any)
And your knowledge is impressive, the way you research issues in depth is very interesting. And I ❤ TED)))))

What you would want here is “if you point out incorrect things” OR “if you point out not correct things.”

Love and Hope? Not too common names, are they? Faith I’ve seen, but never in my neck of the woods (British? Northern American?), while Sophia (Sofia, Sofie, etc.) is a common name in many parts of the world. That’s my view, from my Swedish experience. Now fill in the blanks, please!

We have them common in my generation, I've met all of them. And I have one of these names))) but in the younger generation these names are rare. Sophia is really the most popular.
 
hope said:
Righteousness is rather Love for God, which is expressed by his adherence to religious precepts. When a person proves by deeds that he honors God.
What do you think?

That’s an interesting interpretation. According to Plato, righteousness is one of the four cardinal virtues, the other being courage, temperance, and prudence. Of these, justice is the greatest, as it is necessary for the others.

Aha, but they’re not in English, then?

Edit: Write it in Cyrillic, please!

Oh, missed that. Both of your options are good and certainly more correct than what I wrote.

Of course, in English, it's a translation of the meaning of the name. And so it is
VERA (Vera) , NADEZHDA (Hope) , LIUBOV (Love) , SOFIIA (Sofia)

Wow, Vera! That’s the name of my “gammelmoster” (grandmother’s sister); my grandmother being named Alva. I always thought it was from Latin vera ‘true,’ but apparently it’s of Slavic origin?

In Cyrillic, wouldn’t that be Вера, Надежда, Любов, and Софія?

One of our horses, back when I was a kid, was named Natischa. May that be related to Hope, perchance?
