The day is named after the church holiday of veneration of St. Nikita of Pechersk, Bishop of Novgorod in the 11th century. Among the people, Saint Nikita was considered the guardian of lightning and flame, so the peasants prayed to him to preserve their homes from fires.

Before the snowstorm, crows were observed cawing.
