On October 27, believers honor the memory of Saint Paraskeva of Serbia.
People call this day Paraskeva the Dirty. She owes this unkind nickname to the slush that often accompanies October 27.
Consequently, the amount of dirt on the roads was used to judge whether it was worth going on a long journey and when winter would come.
