On December 4, Orthodox believers celebrate the great feast of the twelve, called the Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple.
It was believed that on the Entry into the Temple, Winter herself would ride through the streets, drawn by three horses.
The weather on December 4th was used to judge the upcoming weather for the Christmas holidays.
Name day December 4
Today, Alexander, Ada and Maria celebrate their angel day.
Today's birthday people were born under the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. They are distinguished by their determination and firmness, and critical thinking is characteristic of them.
However, if those born on December 4 become attached to a person, they cannot judge him impartially.
Weather signs
The people considered the Introduction to the Dead to be a kind of gate to winter. People noticed that the snow that fell on December 4 did not melt until the beginning of spring.
Frost and sun on the Entry into the Temple promised abundant harvests in the coming year, and cold weather during the Christmas holidays.
But if the weather was warm and cloudy, then there was no hope for a good harvest next summer.
