Feast of St. Alexis, Man of God
St. Alexis's day
also: Алексея, божьего человека, 17 March O.S.
An Orthodox feast (17 March Old Style) traditionally associated in Russian folk reckoning with the spring thaw and the breaking of river ice; Savely cites it as the date the river broke up during a storm that brought a constable to spend the night.
