On September 4, the Orthodox Church remembers the holy martyr Agathonicus of Nicomedia.
In the folk calendar, September 4 is Agathon the Amulet, Agathon's Day.
According to folk signs, on Agafonov's Day you can find out whether the winter will be cold and snowy.
If the weather is sunny on Agathon Ogumennik, autumn will please you with warmth.
If there are a lot of nuts but few mushrooms, the winter will be cold and snowy.
A large mushroom harvest promises a warm, snowless winter and poor fishing.
If the fog clears quickly on a sunny day, good weather will set in.
