The article claims, without providing sources, that the ice saints coincide with blackthorn winter. According to the article Blackthorn Winter this is the name for a period in early April, while the ice saints are celebrated in the middle of May. As far as German folklore is concerned, I am aware of the ice saints but I'm not aware of a blackthorn winter (the closest thing might be Märzwinter in March, but again this has nothing to do with the ice saints). It looks like the article is confusing several unrelated names for cold periods of the year. --130.180.18.14 (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
