One of the biggest Orthodox holidays, the Day of the Protection of the Holy Mother of God, falls on October 14.
The celebration is named in honor of the appearance of the Mother of God in the Constantinople church, where her robe and part of her belt were kept.
By the time of the Intercession, the “winter period” had begun in the villages: the peasants had completely completed agricultural work and were transferring their livestock to winter feed.

Weather signs
Today it was customary to watch the weather and guess what the rest of autumn and the approaching winter would be like.
Rain on the Intercession of the Holy Virgin indicated that the rest of the autumn would be stormy and the winter snowy. However, this sign also indicated a rich harvest the following summer.
If there was snow, they expected a harsh winter, and if there was no snow, they did not expect it until December.
