Ivantis, Linda. Russian Folk Belief pp. 35–36 : "Perhaps the strangest of all the saints of the Russian folk was 'Cassian the Unnmerciful' (Kas'ian Nemilostivyi) [...]. His feast occurred only during leap year, which peasants considered unlucky. [...] According to one belief, Cassian sits motionless on a chair with downcast eyebrows that reach his knees, unable to see the world. On February 29 however, he lifts his eyebrows and looks at the world, and everything he glances on withers."
