Today, Orthodox Christians remember the prophet Jonah and the martyr Phocas.
On the 22nd day of the first autumn month, many believers pray to Phocas to ensure that their homes are protected from fire.
In addition, it is believed that the saint can protect against natural disasters associated with water.
But people who believe in omens pay attention to plants and birds during this period.
Folk omens for September 22
If the rowan harvest was good, then this autumn will probably disappoint many people with the weather.
The fact is that, according to signs, rain will be a very frequent occurrence at this time of year.
Birds that fly away early promise a difficult winter in terms of weather: it may turn out to be very frosty and too snowy.
A large amount of peel on an onion can also indicate the same thing.
If there are still leaf blades on the cherry tree by September 22, it will soon get warmer.
An abundance of cobwebs on this day promises good weather in the coming months.
