On December 3, Orthodox believers honor the memory of Saint Proclus, who was a disciple of John Chrysostom.
It was believed that a solid sleigh road had already been completely installed on Proclus.
On this day, they watched the behavior of domestic and wild animals, which was used to judge the upcoming weather.
