Today is the day of the icon of the Holy Mother of God, called "The Sign".
On the Omen, people hoped to see signs that would predict their future destiny.
It was believed that on the Omen the fish were already hiding for the winter, so there was no point in fishing on this day.

Although fishing on this day is not recommended, there was a sign associated with fish. A pike with caviar caught on the Omen promised a damp beginning of April.
