I chose my Saint and Baptismal name with a lot of thought, but quite nearly by random. I came into Orthodoxy when I was 14. I appreciated the stories and the life of St. Anastasia and went to learn more about her, and how I had mirrored her path to God. It just so happened the day I went to look it up and decide, was her day of commemoration. I felt very connected to her, and my spiritual father blessed my choice. I pray to her with personal problems, that I know only God and I can fix, through her intersessions I pray to the Lord to make me a stronger Anastasia.
