Today Christians celebrate the day of Saint Charitina, who by her example encouraged many pagans to accept the faith.
People call this day Kharitiny - the first canvases: women sat down at the looms and wove canvases.
It was customary to observe the weather to understand whether snow and frost would be expected in the near future.

Weather signs
Several signs that were noted on October 18th spoke of the approaching weather.
For example, clouds floating against the wind promised snowfall. And if there was no wind, they expected a cold snap.
We watched the birds. Crows, seagulls and other birds circling in flocks in the sky warned of the approaching snow.
