The holiday is named after the Three Saints in honor of three saints - Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom, revered by Christians as great teachers of God's Word. Among the people, the Three Saints were sometimes called the animal wedding or the animal holiday. For the animal festival, a table was set with meat dishes. Signs of the weather for this day: noticing the screaming crows near the house on the Three Saints, the peasants were preparing for the approaching blizzard, and they saw a month with a red tint before strong winds.
