On this date, Orthodox believers honor the memory of Saint Titus the Wonderworker, who lived in the 9th century in the territory of Asia Minor. The people called the day of Titus Icebreaker, since the rivers finally opened up from ice. Residents did not miss the opportunity to tell fortunes on the ice: if a cracked ice floe went under the water, then a difficult year was expected; if it floated on top, it was the opposite. Titov's day was also called Barysh-day. It was a holiday of traders and resellers.
