The holiday is named in honor of Saint Nikon of Pechersk, the 11th century Kyiv abbot, revered by Orthodox believers on this date. Among the Nikonov people, the day was spent putting things in order in the household. In the morning they cleaned the sleeping places and replaced the old straw in the mattresses with new ones. In the evening, the peasants went to the bathhouse to wash off the dirt. Residents believed that its steam could cure diseases, wash away sinful deeds and protect against evil spirits.

The annual holiday occurs during the period when the earth warms up, the snow melts, and streams flow. Legends mention living and dead water. Melted ice and snow are truly like a fairy elixir. The liquid has a healing and rejuvenating effect.
