On December 9, believers honor the anniversary of the consecration of the Church of the Great Martyr George the Victorious, which was founded in the 11th century in Kyiv.
People considered Gregory the patron saint of domestic animals, so it was customary to pray to him for protection from wolves.
Weather signs for December 9 were associated with noise coming from a well.

On Grigoriy's Day they went to the well and observed the water in it. It was used to determine what the weather would be like in the future:
- if the water was noisy, the winter would be fierce, with snowstorms and blizzards;
- if the surface of the well was calm, the winter will be warm and with little snow.
