Today, Orthodox believers celebrate the day of remembrance of six of the seventy apostles, including Erastus and Rodion.
Saint Rodion was popularly called the Icebreaker, since by this time ice forms on the rivers, which is still quite fragile and can break at any moment.
The nature of the frost on the day of Rodion and Erast was used to judge the upcoming weather.

Today's name day is celebrated by Alexander, Alexey, Anna, Boris, Georgy, Denis, Erast, Efrem, Ivan, Konstantin, Mikhail, Nikolay, Olga, Orest, Peter, Prokopy, Rodion, Seraphim, Terentiy.
Today's birthday boys were born under the sign of Sagittarius. They are distinguished by a quarrelsome and complex character.

Weather signs
If frost fell in the morning, severe frosts were expected; if frost appeared in the evening, there would be heavy snowfall.
On the contrary, an abundance of snow on November 23 promised a soft and warm winter. And if slushy and inclement weather set in on Erast and Rodion, it was believed that it would not change for several more days.
