Co ma św. Mateusz do kożucha? Te przysłowia mogą Was zaskoczyć

The Church celebrates the feast of St. Matthew, apostle and evangelist, on September 21. Because the feast falls at the end of September, traditional folk proverbs associated with the saint focus on predicting weather changes as summer transitions into autumn.

One proverb suggests that while the sun may still feel warm on St. Matthew's day, wind and cooling temperatures typically follow. Another saying warns that those who have not purchased a sheepskin coat should prepare for the cold winds that may arrive after the feast day.
