October 9 – Ivan the Theologian. The Orthodox honor the memory of John the Theologian, one of the Twelve Apostles.

In Russia, on the day of Ivan the Theologian, natural phenomena determined what the weather will be in the coming months. If snow fell, the onset of winter was expected by Mikhailov day. It was believed that the first snow on the already bare cherry foreshadows the imminent arrival of cold weather.

The coming winter was judged by the fallen foliage. If the leaves remained on the trees or covered the ground unevenly, it was considered a sign of severe frost.

Special attention was paid to the first snow. People believed that snowfall with strong winds does not mean the onset of winter. Snow that fell during the day usually melted quickly, and stable snow cover, according to legends, more often formed after night snowfall.

Rain and snow on the day of Ivan the Theologian foreshadowed three strong thaws in January. If the weather was warm and sunny, next summer expected a cold and rainy June.
