Folk holiday

The day of Proclus was celebrated among the people on December 3. This holy prayer saved the whole city during the earthquake. On the day of Proclus, people cursed evil spirits, because they believed that it would no longer come out of the ground until spring and would not harm anyone. But all the chimneys and ventilation in the house were closed crosswise with sticks so that evil spirits would not get inside. By the day of Proclus, a sled road was usually already established. Also on this day we observed the weather and judged what the summer would be like.
